The difference between his play with Kane, his play with Reinhart, and his play with Okposo is that Okposo can actually shield off defenders with the puck on his stick.

(Reinhart got knocked over, Kane lost control or fired a shot.)

Okposo controls the puck, brings defenders to him, and opens up the ice for Jack.

I think its a pairing Housley should keep together now that Kyle seems to be healthy again.

Jack likes to use skates as a scoring mechanism?

PS - these observations all made while sober so their accuracy could be suspect

Its a long story, and I will just say I'm doing it in an effort to help someone I love, more than I'm doing it for myself.

That's probably why it's been so easy.

Lack of talent?

Okposo basically scored that goal off of Girgensons

Girgs has 4 goals, Eichel has 3 primary assists and 1 secondary on those goals, I believe. In a perfect world, Okposo would play girgs role (dig pucks out, stand by the net) and the LW would be another goal scorer

Lack of talent?

Thats great and all they they had a good game. Now can they go back to sucking? im in top 3 pick mode

Go do the simulator. With the new odds...it's depressing. Likely they pick 5/6.

It’s important to move Kane and Reinhart for defensive pieces for that very reason. Grab a forward in the 4-6 range. Going into next year your lineup looks like this

?-Eichel-Okposo
Zadina/Tkchuck-ROR- ?
Girgensons-Mittlestadt-Rodriguez
Stink-Stank-Stunk

Is there a new "swallow the Edmonton Oilers jersey" challenge?

I just did. Sabres got the first pick on the first try.

We can only hope. Unfortunately, as we know here in Buffalo, no effing way we land #1.

This team has 6 centers and only 2 are good. No thank you

he'd fit right in with the other 4.

Yea. I'm not counting that we finish where we're at now. I think Ottawa finished below us..... if we finish 3rd last, I think we pick 4/5.

No one will touch them with a "ten-and-a-half-foot pole."
Advantage!

/Grinch reference

Not that i don’t wanna see us winning...

But a Top3 pick should be the goal


I’m not sold on Tkachuk,
and idk that any of the defensemen after Dahlin are top pair guys...
certainly not right away
