I see us as buyers at this year's deadline honestly.

Not in a MAJOR way that shakes our youth core but maybe a piece with an extra year left on the contract or something.

I'm actually going to be in Toronto the weekend of the Semi's. I've debated about getting tickets for the Sunday afternoon game. However, they're over $100 for the upper rows in the upper levels and you have no idea what teams I'd get to see, since it's the semi's. I keep going back and forth on if going is really worth it. The major hockey fan in me says "absolutely" but my bank account says "not such a great idea."

I think if I knew what teams would be playing, it would be easier to make that decision.

We'll probably get a middling winger that has a year or 2 left on his deal.

Best players available that are UFAs next year on teams that might be sellers and don't have NTC/NMC:
Stafford, WPG
Laich, TOR
Zach Smith, OTT
Stalberg, CAR

Not exactly a great bunch.

Year after you have some bigger names, yet still have NMC/NTC or will be on good teams. Plus, you have the expansion draft so if you're trading for them you probably want to protect them.

Turris, OTT
Atkinson, CBJ
Stempniak, CAR
Calvert, CBJ

Nice read on Okposo. He seems like a great guy - very humble and a good teammate. Who knows, maybe his positive influence will rub off on Kane? What surprises me the most about Okposo is his apparent play making ability. He ends up with significantly more assists than goals yet I have always perceived him to be a goal scorer. If he is averaging 22 per year, i guess we should expect 20 - 25 from him this year.

Okposo is not a power forward.
- CaptainRivet


I just hope you guys are prepared for that.

HOWEVER

Still love the guy and he is a great skill forward. Should expect 60-65pts from him if healthy, which is great for modern NHL.
