1). Correct and he’s coming off of major hip surgery, and will be out until Christmas.

2). Okposo for what he does (4th line duties) is perfectly fine. He is also a well known leader in the room and well liked. For 1 year …. It’s fine. We didn’t resign him for 2,3,4 etc. then I would’ve had a problem with the signing

So yeah happy Monday

Okposo keeps resigning 1 year deals...it's only 1 year....is such a dumb justification.

You're OK paying Kane $7M per for 3 seasons and the first two he goes for 25-25?

Pavelski has been nothing short of a revelation in Dallas, not to mention, he went 25/26 in 56 games, please stop talking.

His leadership and what he’s done for the team post Eichel in the lockeroom has been tremendous.

That was a huge hole and a huge ask

Apparently he was considered a 10 million dollar a year player and we signed him for the normal 1.3 million ish. I believe.


I think Beane has a plan to extend some of the current 1 year players.

Rapp. Based on previous year articles is considered a starting safety type talent.

He could replace poyer or Hyde.

Ford could be the same on the D line

What was your opinion on his leadership and value to the team during the Eichel era (majority of his time in Buffalo)?

It seems as though Eichel leaving, a new coach taking over and focusing on the young players is somehow positively attributed to Okposo showing up to collect checks.

Ignored the first year of his deal?

Ignored that he also missed 20+ games his 2nd season?

Good production from the press box during those 20+ games, eh?

I'd ask you to stop talking, but why bother when this is what, alternate account 7 or 8 that you're using due to your buffoonery?

He is almost a ppg player in the playoffs for the entire time he's been in Dallas, they have a team that can get to the dance without him, he shows up when it counts.

Also it can be argued the intangibles he brings off the ice to that locker room has done wonders, that's how it works right, plus it's only a 1 year deal.

It's a relevant point you make.
Certainly applauding his leadership post Eichel is valid...yet calling into question their leadership during those times is valid.

The validity of that applause is based off his comments that the locker room is finally healthy. I do not understand how Okposo is credited with that as even his comments come off as the new coach and core are responsible.

If you want to say he gets in front of the cameras to allow the young guys to focus, ok I can buy that. Is that worth $2.5mm, to me, no.
