Bumping my own post, lol.
Let's get it started in here!!!
Where are all you lurkers/1st time posters....jump in man, waters warm, beer is cold

- IonSabres



7th - Turcotte, Caufield, Boldy, seem to be the consensus picks here. I do not know much about them, so I am deferring to the knowledge of others.
30/31st - trade it.
FA - depends on what the return is for the trade to focus on need. I'd say right now it's a 2C so Hayes is my choice right now.
Surprise - whatever the return is for Risto. Hopefully it's a decent piece from Tampa.

I'd trade that other 1st we have just to dump Okposo, a lot to give up but get him and his contract off this team.

Been saying this for months. That 6 million in cap space will be used on a better player then who we draft at 31 and will be on our roster this year.

Okposo will bring back a bad contract. They won't be able to move him otherwise.

okposo, late first and cj mith

- homiedclown



Can’t we just put Okposo in Hossa’s equipment, call it a rash and LTIR him? Or is that only for large market clubs?

It's going to be like the callahan situation. You have to add to it, to get something of value.

At face value, you'll get nothing for Okposo alone.

Then either buy him out or just live with it.

Do NOT trade something of value just to get rid of something with none. It never works out.

Like trading away a premium goal scorer because he didn’t fit and making it to the ECF never?

Who said $8m though?
McKenzie said between $8.5m and $9.5m, and it was his feeling on it...not a quote from those sources.

It may be splitting hairs, but if he came in at $8.75m x 8 you get $70m. That $8.75 is right in line with McKenzie's thoughts...so why do you say he us ignoring what has been reported, by 1 man? The others are leeching onto him.
Unless they changed math, and the order of numbers in a Base 10 system, then Boss is spot on.
TBH, I too have been thinking the same as Bossman.

- IonSabres


Boss is was saying under 9
If what he means by that is 8.75,
then that .25mil is pretty much negligible

I need to consult with a few posters before I comment on that

I do not want to come across as being an okposo hater

Forgetting ROR, and Skinner for a moment, let's move onto other interesting subjects...

I hope you all took the advice to WAKE-UP and EDJUMOCATE yourselves since yesterday's visit from Mr. Knowledgeable!

Who is your pick at 7 OA?
Who is your pick at 30/31?
Who is your #1 FA target?
Who is your surprise acquisition?

Backup your thoughts as best you can.

GO...Wtf?

- IonSabres


Dream scenario...

7th- Byram or Turcotte
30/31- Spencer Knight(goalie)
*none of these guys are likely to be available though

FA target- i don’t really wanna overpay anyone available... I’d pass for the most part

Possibly realistic acquisition, that I’d REALLY like- W.Karlsson

Surprise acquisition- hmmmm....
I’ll have to get back to you on that

at pick 7
assuming byram and cozens are gone, dach because he can play center or rw, big and plays with an edge

at pick 30/31,Afanasayev, could be a beast if he falls, otherwise the best D that falls to us,

fa target, assuming the big fish go elsewhere, Brett Connolly as he appears to be a late bloomer

surprise acquisition, Ryan Getzlaf ducks eat a chunk and we get him on the cheap

Solid post.
Dach and Krebs are both growing on me.
Getzlaf would be interesting for sure

Saw this trade proposed on cap friendly seems interesting at least.

CGY gets: Rasmus Ristolainen, Artturi Lehkonen, 2019 6th round pick (MTL)

BUF gets: Jonathan Drouin, Oliver Kylington, 2019 4th round pick (NYI)

MTL gets: T.J. Brodie, Conor Sheary, Spencer Foo, 2020 2nd round pick (CGY), 2019 4th round pick (SJ)

Not sure mtl would move drouin and I don’t know a ton about kylington, seems like solid value.
