Pens are still in win now mode, Karmanos has not shown any ability to acquire NHL talent. He is great at building a prospect pipeline, which the pens will need in 3 years after Crosby is done. IMO poaching him doesn’t match their needs. - washedup20
Okay, that is a great point. I didn’t think of that |

He's the ultimate high risk/reward play. He's got exactly as large a sample size of being a top 4 d-man as he does being a pylon.
If the Sabres had any kind of depth on the blue line I would take this gamble. - Michael Ghofrani
we complain about needing better defensive play and this guy is the antithesis of those demands.

I'm okay with him blocking Murray, I've moved on to him blocking Cederqvist now.
In all actuality though, the kid's puck retrieval skills would be a big add to this team. - QuinnFan
Okposo is a joke at this point, watching the Leafs vs Panthers and seeing Tavares be so irrelevant because of how slow he is. Okposo is even slower and less talented. Neither have accomplished anything even though they are viewed as leaders of their respective teams.
It was and will remain a stupid signing.

Repeating the Kyle Okposo mistake.
Don’t pull an Edmonton oilers hoping and praying older defenseman can save the day. |

Hopefully Karmanos and co are not poached from the Sabres.
Many on twitter think it’s going to be spezza - Sabretooth9
He has to keep his grubby wee paws off the Karmanos and the Ventura.
Sabres can still promote the group as a whole. If uncle Terry would remove a title from the Mrs. And spend the money… |

Yes, he fills a void in the roster immediately. If you view it as you get 3/4 good years and the final seasons are put on LTIR to circumvent the cap for playoffs its a win/win. |

No, would need Blues to hold some cash.
I like Pionk but people saying he no good in his own zone. I'd like to some numbers crunched on this topic |

He's a (frank)ing pylon. Why else would WPG want to get rid of this big points defenseman?

I would consider Parayko if his cap was no more than 4.25 for the remainder of the contract.
Tanev would be brilliant though. |

All comes down to how many games he plays IMO. If he plays 65+ games, agreed, too many minutes that could've went elsewhere. If he's used as a player coach type, where he's only in half or less games and helping the kids grow...so be it. Part of this equation would be putting the best foot forward come playoffs. I don't want to see him in the first round if he isn't our BEST option. Until then, they can f about a little. |

Yes, he is also not the captain and was signed due to cap restraints, not a good comparison.
Also didn’t play for 7 years in Florida and have a mental breakdown while play during the worst window of the franchise’s existence. |

This has nothing to do with Slow players still playing in the finals and making an impact

We've gone from blaming the ex-top line talent that we sucked for so long(Now they're playing against each other in the finals so can't blame them now) to blaming Okposo cause who else has been here for most of the drought |

Yes we’re all in awe of Eric Staal’s impact during these playoffs….he is a filler, he actually can help off this ice as he won a Stanley cup and knows what it takes.
Okposo can tell you how living in Buffalo during the winter can break a person. |

Interesting to see Zach Benson and Oliver Moore as fallers on here. I could definitely see those two names falling on draft day (and wrongfully so)
I think Šalé has pretty much solidified himself as a late teens/20s pick at this point
Cristall may very well fall out of the 1st round with the ending to his season despite his production
