It's the risk with bridge deals. I'm hopeful he can reach 65 points one day, but the team around him would have to be better as well...he doesn't push the play with his own skill, but is dangerous in the o-zone at any time.

We shall see. Methinks by then Botts will have figured out a way to move guys like Okposo and even maybe Berglund for room.

It’s a good thing we have 4 first rounders in the next two drafts. Cause we’ll definitely will be losing one to seattle to take Okposo off our hands in 2020-2021

A buyout next summer leaves cap hits of

A buyout in 2020 is shorter, obviously

That's the route you'd go? If Kyle breaks 50 pts, you don't think we could trade him at that point, perhaps with a minor add, to avoid paying out?

That isn't a horrible bullet to bite, but rather get out unscathed obviously.

i gotta think they adjust the expansion draft parameters.. but we will see how that works out.

It's not ideal. Maybe someone will take him. Paying him $6m for 5 more years seems untenable though

I think Okposo will most likely be the guy being moved in the future, don't get me wrong I like the deal for sure, especially if this team makes some waves.

Just thinking about the future, but excited about the present

I think that's logical. The concussion really put a damper on his game. I'm hoping for the "Bogo bounce back" for him and for a sucker (Chiarelli) to bite.

Would you trade for him? ...that's why I think it's not so simple.

Nope

7th hole at Greystone in Ontario, east of Roc.

185 feet of elevation gain in 410 yards, most of it in the last 175.
- Der Kaiser

there was a course my Dad took me to once in a while in Rochester

it was in a state park

18th hole was a long par 5 that bent back and forth like a snake and was all uphill at the end


any clue if that course is still open?

Wow , some you you must be shocked.

Other fans not so much.

Sam's worth is inflated in his own mind and (some) hockeybuzzers
- Boss34

not shocked at all

they went the bridge deal as both sides were not budging on long term

Or this is just a bridge deal, therefore less expensive, and a GREAT deal on Botts part. Just a thought.
- RhinoFan

Here's a thought:

Tom wilson 5.17 million a year
Sam reinhart 3.65


Hilarious.

Mental - you wouldn't be rich betting us internet guys.

Good thing you saved your $

one is a bridge deal for the payday
the other is the payday


get back to me in 24 months when reinhart is over 6 per (or under 4 mil in some minds), otherwise it's apples and oranges

You been saying 6 million for the last 4 months

Shocked maybe isnt the right term, perhaps "wrong" is the appropriate word.

Not trying to be a Richard, but this is what I see at the games. A guy that needs to prove he is a good nhl player.

No surprise here
