As it looks more likely Okposo's destination is Buffalo, don't try holding him to the money, to get players today you must overpay.

He's right ya know

Okposo only done deal so far.
McGinn changed his twitter to a sabres jersey pic (i didnt look but i was told)

That happened yesterday. They were talking about it on WGR. But basically said it's pretty insignificant since unless you're a Sabres fan you wouldn't know it's a Sabres jersey. It's a picture of his head and he has a Sabres Jersey on but you can't see much of it.

Unless it's money and players for money and players, he's not to excited about moving anymore prospects, we are thin.
- SABRES 89


I think we're fairly thin with guys ready to come up from the minors. It would seem that Bailey and maybe Guhle would be the only people that fit that description. I wouldn't give up either.

There is absolutely zero reason that signing Okposo for 7 years is necessary.

GMTM seems to strongly favor players who give more than they take in the physical game.

Earlier in the day it's "Kane has 0 value" and now everyone is jumping at "Kane in part of a deal for Landeskog". It's not happening and if it does people won't like what we're giving up to make that deal happen.

sounds like its closer than ever…just don’t knw what the hold up is…I think they are focusing more on the free agent frenzy first…they already own vesey and can talk to him whenever…well until aug 15th…..so no rush….PLUSSSS by having a good day today, can make vesey want to come even more

If the rumors are true that he's taking Eichel and Samson out to bars with him, that's a very big problem. That's not worth the risk IMO.

Obviously it takes a special kind of person to *allegedly* "put hands on a woman's throat", and that doesn't seem to be the makeup of Jack or Sam. But it's still a bad look.

If Wiercoch just went to COL, maybe that opens up the spot for Barrie to be gone....hmmmm.

Where's everyone getting the term on the Okposo deal? Only thing I've heard is that "Buffalo was willing to go 7 for 7" from one of the tsn guys.

Rumors.

Also, it's really not a big deal. Unless he's taking Sam and Jack and teaching them how to assault people them going to bars isn't a big deal. They aren't 7, they won't imprint and turn into Kane.
