Don't want to wait again, but that's true, we'd trade rights?

That Reinhart kids is good. I still hated that trade..
- hehateme


Sam Bennet has 27 goals and 45 points on Florida. The guy is neither of those.

Reinhart is good but not a ppg player on a regular team.

Are you saying that Sam Reinhart performing well is a mirage, or are you saying Sam Bennett was never capable of putting up 50 points

Boy OkposA's game has been irrelevant the past few.

Maybe showing some age?

- Boss34


I wonder if we could get Fleury for Okposo now.

who makes the rushes and who takes the back seat? Are they going to strictly manage Power to help him adapt to the NHL game? Boring but very necessary, or are they going to let him float and rush, play like he did at Michigan? Exciting but not structured [/

only thing he's showing is that he ages in reverse
- TheSabresTaco

Okposo's getting close to the crawling stage.


Wonder if he's dinged up. Caught something from gingersons?

they want him with joker, at least today, because he's seen as a very steady, even keeled player. my guess is they let joker cover for him and let him play free.

Im saying both are benefiting from playing on a stacked team. A lot more so for Bennett than Skunk. but Skunk is still benefitting from it.

From his comments last week. Kinda sounded like he might be done playing. Had his fair share of health problems over the last couple years.

It wouldn't surprise me even with how good he's been this year.

edit: thought this was his last year on contract. He has 1 more.

okposo
5 goals and 6 assists in the last 20 games

I have no problem with him as a player and at this point cap number means nothing

If he has another solid season I am not opposed to throw him a 1 year 4 mil contract for 23-24

Comfortable- cozy, snug, easy, restful mean enjoying or providing a position of contentment and security. comfortable applies to anything that encourages serenity, well-being, or complacency as well as physical ease.

I'd say you hit that directly on the head 🌮

I'm not trying to bash okposo, as he's one of my favorites.

Last 4 games = not good

He’s gonna maybe score 35 goals and was fun to watch in another meaningless season but 9 million yo, that needs to be the conversation every…single…day

Why in the heck does it matter what Skinner Makes? Don't blame the player, if you don't like what he makes blame the GM, ultimately the GM is the one who OFFERS the player the contract. It is NEVER on the player...

100% in fact this contract helps us in the short term. Imagine have 5-6 more mill to get to the cap floor? I feel if they let him walk we would all be female dogging about how we let him go.

Although one could say that Huberdeau and Barkov are benefiting from it too.

Sam and Samson are both very good players, and both are important contributors to the success the Panthers have had so far this season.

We're in a good place to get one of them. That'd go a long ways toward fixing the right side.
- QuinnFan


Nemec and Jiricek are going in the top 5, and maybe in the top 3.

How are the Sabres in a good place to get one of them?
