Kinda shocked by your rather obvious mistake of not bolding that Lockport Larry guy

- IonSabres

He probably has more goals and points than anyone else on that list, so, I guess I should have

Brad Boyes was also good the deadline year they acquired him. After that, not so much.
- buffalofan19

That is a part of the point as well.
Often buying relatively high on guys at the trade deadline.
Some deals are home runs (Sabres are still waiting)...many not so much. They may work for short term for contenders.

Connolly plays with Boyes.......

fine. 2019 3rd and 5th. and if you try to pawn off sobotka again, the price goes up.

That's a problem as well. The Sabres have to give the penguins a 4th for Sheary and Hunwick, which becomes a 3rd if Sheary good 20g or 40p. That's not gonna happen, so ok to the 3rd and 5th, but you have to take either Scandella or Sobotka.

I can offer you the 3rd and two 6ths (all 2019) with Sobotka or Scandella

I don't usually do this but my manager gave me permission just this one time.

It's a super deal

Sandy, can you tell Gramps about the great deals we have on certified pre-owned Okposos?

Why sure, tell me Gramps, do you like watching a guy skate really hard, do nice tight curly turns right around the top of the face-off circle,, then give the puck away? Sure, we all do and at those times a guy like you will recall how he once scored like 25 goals! Great Memories, and you can relive them multiple times a game...you can count on that sir!
Now today, and today only we are discounting the cost for the first year by 50%...thats right, half-off Gramps...and, if you like we will add in one Jason Pommenville also at 50% off...a kind of a 2fer-half-off sale...that's like only 25% right??? Yes, 2x 50% is 25% cost ...just say yes now...or, I can for you! Yes? Sold, thank you so much!!!

The price to take either of those dogs is the blues 1st.

I’d do it

How about Okposo and a 1st for Anisimov and your worst prospect. I'll throw in $1m retained on Okposo

Oh you poor soul. You don't know how this works. I am experienced at giving up good to get rid of bad.

I’d do it

Hell no

Okposo's deal expires a year before his and its almost a million less in cap hit

I’d do it

Seabrook is one of my all time favorite Hawk. I would move him so I don't have to listen/read Hawk fans disparage the man anymore.

Seabrook will be on LTIR and off the cap in 2 seasons, he’ll retire in 3.


That’s a vet, Okposo is supposed to be a top 6 forward, he’ll be an anchor on that 4th line for the remainder of his career.

Both are overpaid enormously and underperform consistently. I’d rather hide seabrook as 6-7D man vs waste a forward spot

Lol, you are on a roll today my man.
Half those guys were 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounders where it is known the success rate is low.
Yet, some teams find gems, just because the Sabres previous Scouts and GMs sucked at it doesnt eliminate it as an option.

MAN, QUITE THE IMPRESSIVE LIST THERE DON'T YA THINK.
SIMPLY AMAZING THESE NAMES AREN'T ON THE CUP!
( sorry, caps locked on, aint retyping)

C'mon man. Draft picks do work, trades do work, FA signings do work.
They also all fail at times too.
It isn't one or the other.
It is a matter of how to best use all the tools in the bag for maximum benefit.
- IonSabres

Can you also be my best friend ?

Sounds almost like a first. Where's jimmy?
- TheHank

(frank) Jimmy. He's in the corner playing with his width.

- washedup20

saw a mock where he goes 8th

I am all for him if oliver is gone

it really comes down to the qb's
many mocks have them starting to go after the bills pick, some have a few going before we pick
- homiedclown

That seems like an ideal position to trade down from.

Okposo has been assigned Hossa's old equipment.
