I already told you fam, Okposo is scoring 25 goals this year. - BeadyEyedDouche
I'll bet he is closer to 25 than 15 , you underestimate his professionalism. His injuries and the serious nature of them had a role in his reduced performance. If you don't think so, then you should do some research. You can be disappointed with situation but you really sound like the guy that hated Tim Conolly because he was concussed against the Senators while playing at an Elite Skill level Top 10 centerman when that derailed his career. Point is, constantly bashing Okposo as if his situation is similar to Matt Moulson or Ville Leino is simply wrong.
When Lindros was concussed by Stevens he didn't become a Bust, he became injured.
I think you all are right, and Botterill will make some moves this summer to make it a respectable team come October. But let me run a hypothetical across that doesn't seem crazy to me.
Only minor moves are made this summer: maybe Donskoi and a depth defenseman. Krueger wants to see what he can do with Risto. The team comes out flat, and by mid-november, the team is sunk. Krueger becomes acting GM due to his background in personnel, and Lindy is brought in later, maybe after the season as PoHO
Hoping Bolts sign Pavalski and resign Point.
Move Johnson I a trade for a Dman.
Nope, not Risto, not for that team
I have a feeling that I'll be watching them 82+ games this season.
Just not sure how many for Sabres after watching them myself for the 49th straight year.

IMO Risto is going to go to the loser (winner) of the Myers sweeps.

Wouldn’t have hated him
But again, you have to ask why 29 other teams wouldn’t have given up more
Is he recovered from that injury? - sbroads24
He is worth finding out
He gets a bigger role in Vegas than he got in Minny and ends up playing almost 4 minutes more a game and getting PP time and he turns into a top 6 forward
