I guess vs a buyout it’s a better option
But i doubt Botts would like taking a 4mil Cap hit for 4 seasons

Alternatively...
we keep Okposo for ONE more year
But then after next year is the lockout
If it’s like the last lockout...
we’ll have the option to use a compliance buyout that won’t affect our cap at all

Obviously it’s not a sure thing that it’ll happen
But the cost of waiting to find out is only 1 more year with a guy that can score 15-ish goals

I’m totally ok with that

I wanna be good next year. Okposo doesn't help me be good. And there's no guarantee about the lockout or a compliance buyout. Under this scenario, I've cleared $2m for next year which can go toward an actual 2RW, and I can play a player who is actually suited to a bottom-6 role

And I gave up nothing

maybe a little chauvinistic.. but I agree not a Racist....

she is a clueless twit

One has to get recognize the big target he has earned on his back by DoPS...that the ne t suspension will be Tom Wilson level.

Kim would need to sit down with him and make sure he understands no more boo boos are acceptable. That should get it done.

Kim's pretty busy:

I heard she is trying to move up a few spots and take irv Smith jr.

Maybe pommer could sit next to kadri in the lockerroom next year. Lead him be example.

When people get offended when you speak poorly about a person they have never met, shows that their parents have failed them.

Me too
But it’s not realistic- with or without Okposo
Maybe we contend for the playoffs,
but that’s our ceiling for next year
And if we lose Skinner, we’re picking Top10 again

Sure,
there’s no GUARANTEE on the compliance buyout
But to find out, we only have to keep Okposo for 1 more year
If it doesn’t happen, we can always make a move like u suggest next offseason

4mil in dead money is a lot in hockey
I highly doubt Botts would do it

It's not dead money though. Olofsson takes Okposo's PP production for $770k - 11 points.

CJ Smith pots 18 points in a bottom 6 role where Okposo would have been for $1m

That fits in the $2m I just saved us. We're actually ahead of the deal.

I just saved us cash and got us faster, and gave up nothing

It’s still 4mil against the Cap for players no longer here
That’s “dead money”
Bringing up other cheap guys doesn’t erase the 4mil Cap hit- it’s still there

And we aren’t gonna be “good” next year no matter what we do/don’t do with Okposo

whatever


she was a total deer in the headlight


maybe she is more poised now, she wasn't 4 years ago

Didn’t u say last week that you don’t know if she’s making decisions or Botts is?

You're missing the forest for the trees here. With the 2 million in savings, I'm likely to get more production than Okposo

Okposo at $6m - 11 PP points, 18 EV

Okposo at $4 (no production, obviously) + Olofsson $760k + Smith at $1m = considerably more than 11+18

and it's under $6m. And it helps us play a more modern style

If that was the case, then Hockeybuzz would have half the traffic it has.

no clue if kim and terry have changed their ways

they made jerry jones look like a hands off owner in the past

I get what you’re saying
We don’t have to get rid of Okposo to bring those guys up though... do we?

We can wait 1 year, and potentially not have his Cap hit affect at all after that

And if u want him off the roster than bad,
U could always bury him like Moulson
And that would only cost us 1mil more than your proposal
