I wonder how many times Bogo's injuries have foiled plans by the Sabres to try to unload him.
He is puting on a clinic on how to eliminate trades etc during the off- season.

"D.J. Broke-off is in the HEEEEEY-OOOOUUUUUSE!"

So what I got out of this is if we sign any FA on July 1st they will play as poorly as Okposo?

Start changing the culture of this team, get rid of the crap now.

KC is all in. Good for them.

TERRIBLE TRADE BY KC

They essentially traded Dee Ford plus a 1st for Frank Clark

Should’ve just kept Ford
Especially since he & Clark both had 13 sacks next year

Clark is probably a little better,
but not worth a 1st round pick better

Neither will Okposo

Unless he agrees to waive to go to Seattle, he indeed will have to be protected unless he doesn't include Seattle in his m-ntc

Not that it matters. Seattle isn't picking him, but he will tie up a protected spot unless he waives it

Wonder if stamkos is watching the game 7 so he knows what to do 😏

Biere de Garde or Vienna Lager tomorrow?

Neither will Okposo
- jdfitz77

I thought okposo had a Ntc, which meant he would need to be protected?

Thought that's what happened with Vegas last year?

NOPE

It’s ONLY those with No MOVEMENT Clauses that HAD to be protected

Those with NTCs were able to be left available

Teams were required to protect any contracted players with no move clauses (NMCs) with one of the team's slots for protected players, unless the contract expired on July 1, 2017, in which case the NMC was considered void for the draft.[9][10] Players whose NMCs had limited no trade clauses had to still be protected, and any players with NMCs were able to waive the clause and become eligible for the expansion draft.[9]

U aren’t reading it right
Ppl with NMCs can also have partial NTCs
But not the other way around

Unless a player has an NMC on top of his NTC, then he can be available

I’m 100% sure of this

Okposo ONLY has a NTC
He doesn’t have any No Movement built in (according to Cap Friendly)

Per this source, yep, you're right

https://www.spectorshocke...next-nhl-expansion-draft/

So at least we don't have to designate him a spot, but we can almost guarantee he won't be picked. I misunderstood that part

Thx for the info

No worries
I think that stuff can get confusing with the way they word it sometimes

Also...
i believe that originally, they were gonna make teams protect those with NTCs...
But Chicago (i think) had so many players with NTCs that they would’ve been protecting more than was allowed
*not 100% on that though. Just remember hearing something about it

*Tampa could’ve been in a similar situation with the Seattle Expansion Draft with the way they give out NTCs- bit they don’t have too many NMCs, so it won’t matter


But yeah...
it’s probably unlikely we could get Seattle to take Okposo
Only way would be if they focus on mostly young guys & need to hit the Cap floor
But we’d still have to give them something

You guys think Skinner stays or tests free agency?

He’s gone... nobody wants to play in Buffalo... we suck

Suck it, Leafs.

(But I hate the bruins “whoooo” bs after they score)

Cant root for the bruins but it feels pretty good to see the leafs (frank)ing it up

To those who want to sign Gardner,
just take a look at that last goal...

No thanks
Not at what it would cost us

Gardiner is a disaster defensively.

Nfl Nation Mock Draft on espn now
They have us taking OT Taylor
I’d friggin puke if we did that at #9
Ugh... that would be awful

Gardiner is a disaster defensively.
- Pegullaville

And he wouldn’t get the top offensive opportunities here bc of Dahlin

Watching the intermission on CBC
Don Cherry is such a clown

He’s enough to make me root for the Bruins
Yuck
Can’t believe i just typed that
But seriously...
Someone shut Don Cherry the hell up
That guy suuuuuuuucks
