Kyle Okposo said Drew Stafford had something to say about him taking No. 21. Okposo’s reply? “I’ll take it down out of the rafters for you.”

With how much the fans turned on Stafford that makes it all the better

So Kyle Palmieri scored 30 goals and 57 points last year and resigns for less than 5 mil per?

Get an arb award for one year making 3.5-5
have a down year
End up making less money next year

or

Sign a long term deal and have piece of mind that you just got paid.

That was also his best year by a long shot.

Part of the ruling is what his "comparables" are though.

Yep but some guys just want stability and piece of mind.

5 mil for one year, risk having a down year, and end up making less money

or

Take 4.65 per over the next 5 yrs on a mostly guaranteed deal (in case he's bought out).

IMO a year playing the other wing with Taylor Hall should only improve those numbers

This took me a couple seconds to figure out....Still can't believe they really did that

Should but things like injuries and slumps happen.

IMO it was a smart move.

Take the cash when you can.

I don't blame him. I just think that's a damn good deal for Jersey

It's amazing how good Larsson has suddenly become over the last week. Just ask EDM

Sabres fans have been known to talk themselves into like a trade...Aka the Lehner trade.

But there isn't a person in here that can actually get on board with trading a player like Hall for a player like Adam Larsson

Still figure them to make the playoffs though. You lose Hall but add Lucic and Puljujarvi up front + Larsson on D. But they really screwed up the value there

But Adam Larsson is a number one defenseman and hes not even in his prime yet he could end up being like Victor headman


you're not going to get Larsson for peanuts

They pulled a TM, but to the absolute extreme

Would be something if Larsson turns out to be what they really needed.

Name another #1 that can't get to 20 points in a full season

IMO.. him blowing out his knee and never being able to recover to what he was could mean he has much worse numbers

he helps their D and they did kind of replace hall with puladfajarvi and then added lucic.. if Talbot can continue to be a decent goalie and their young dmen improve they could be good.. but at the end of the day they are edmonton so who knows
