Doesn't Landeskog make 5.5 for close to the same production as Okposo? Why does everyone want Lande but despise the idea of Okposo for 6? Purely age?

Landeskog plays this magical thing called defense.

I wonder if the Blue Jackets are going to troll again. I do have to admit that was pretty funny yesterday when they did it after the Nelson signing.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if today's NHL plays a role in all of this.

Is a 50 point player in today's league worth $6 million? I don't know?
- rmiethaner

I'm not attempting to bag on Toews but as a $10mil player he put up 58 pts in 80 games

Yes the people here are ready town is pretty excited.

little slow to break the McCabe signing...3 years 1.6 a year

That's cool. I hope it works. The only thing I'm worried about is the transient nature of Las Vegas. Hopefully they can build a decent sized group that sells out ~85% of the games and then rely on the other ~15% on casino comps and tourist money.

What exactly is your problem?

That is what it feels like. The big concern is overpaying because it's free agency. Okposo might be worth 6 but 6.5 is already pushing his max and given he's 28, a 5 year term is the absolute max. 4 would be ideal

this year Okposo was 25th in pp60, Landeskog was 94th. For each of the last three years Okposo has statistically been more productive than Landeskog
- mattmoulson

Landy has been statistically better than Okposo by age comparison.

Also where are you referencing his PP60? Is that even strength or all situations?

I'm just disgusted that Okposo might get within 2M to what Stamkos signed for.

Let that sink in

Fair deal for McCabe.

Term is what really scares me the most.

And at his age, he is probably looking for six or seven years.

No problem its kind of cute that you are a mini Ek.

Lol and then a few others I didn't see yesterday.

Yeah, non starter at 6 years imo.

Are we fearful of signing Okno based on another former Isle we signed who turned into cow dung or you guys just don't care for Okno.

- sbroads24

So because Lande was better sooner than Okposo that means he's the better player and we should dislike Okposo or not sign him? I'm not sure I follow that

I'm just disgusted that Okposo might get within 2M to what Stamkos signed for.

Totally different situations though.

Eh, just seems kind of unprofessional from their standpoint.
