Michael Pachla: It wasn't "The Big Fish" but landing Kyle Okposo is big for the Sabres

Did someone say offer sheet Ristolainen???

Think again guy

I would honestly say Ramo is the best back up still on the market. He even has plenty of starting experience. Not just a true back up.

I still feel we need another defenseman.

Remember when Boedker was going to get 6 per?

You mean like Vanek did?

Agreed. Not sure Murray will get him though, he might cost more than what Lehner is making now. Gotta think it could be Enroth.

Don't get into the 'my city is better than yours'. I hate when a discussion goes that way. Total waste of time. The Oil and Sabres are on the upswing, stick to hockey talk.

Did Gustavsson sign? I thought he did.

Enroth or Lindbach are there but both had bad years

Leighton and Emery even are.

One name I could see though is an experienced guy like Poulin or Labarbera though. Man I'd worry about them if Lehner went down.

Would def rather call up Ullmark if that is the case.

Not your best article, but it wasn't bad. Just thought you could have given more stats or history or even more future outlook.

Enroth only played in 16 games with the LAK but he had a 2.17 and a .922 and 2 shutouts.

Gustavsson signed with Edm I think.

Just can't see TM signing a guy who can barely get on all the rides at an amusement park.

Ramo watch!!!

We can afford anything you offer but are you really willing to give up 4 top 5 draft picks?

NO

I'd say buyer beware on Enroth. I like him, but the change in pad sizing could have a large impact on smaller guys forced to wear small pads now. Big guys won't see much, if any, change to their pad size.

Thank you.

One of the reasons I stopped coming here regularly.

Thinking it'll be quiet now until at least Tuesday for the holiday weekend right??

No one is sitting in the office are they?

Okposo had 42 assists last year not 35 http://islanders.nhl.com/...lub/player.htm?id=8473449

Last year there were 18 UFA signings on day 2 and one trade. Saw a tweet about that earlier.

Ramo was the best of a bad triumvirate last year. I wouldnt be surprised if he goes to Europe or the KHL. If he stays, he is out for a while, December I believe. And he probably will be more expensive than Zatkoff. Probably best to stay away.
