😂😂😂

If you're a rival GM, what are you giving up for him?

Associate GM Jason Karmanos

I know you are chomping at the bit to fight the term on technicality, but I guarantee you he came here to be an associate, not an assistant.

Seems like you’re making an assumption there sir

It's his literal job title.

It would cost AT LEAST a 1st
And that would be a HORRIBLE decision

What would YOU be willing to give up to get rid of Okposo???

???
- jdfitz77

Joke, his new job cleaning the Yacht after going on LTIR

you really want to give up a 1st and a 6th to get out of okposo's contract? thats what it took the leafs to get out of marleau
- robz228

Marleau made a mil more, and they didn’t retain.

Figure it out.

Other teams do

i think you'd have to trade a 2nd and a 3rd to get rid of okposo, maybe 2/4 or something. just not worth it.

bad teams can't give up assets to get out of a contract, thats reserved for good teams who need flexibility to finish the roster.

He is the associate GM.

Right
That’s his title

Doesn’t necessarily mean he has decision making power

Sh!t, if it's that easy, let's get out from under the WORST contract on the team, too, while you're at it.

Jeff Skinner, pack your bags.

Have the Sabres said he does?
Or are u just assuming that based solely on his title?

I'm sure it's a very team oriented approach.

You know me I'm all about keeping Risto here until he retires at 42 then becomes an Effort Coach at Harborcenter

Lmao, I have like 6 examples off the top of my head yesterday

Fitz.

If you hired an associate manager at a restaurant, how much decision power do you think he'd have.

I'm sure it's a very team oriented approach.
- Powerslave

I’m not saying they didn’t bring him in to not have an opinion,
but everything could still be Adams’ “final say”

We just don’t know the exact power structure at this point is all I’m saying
I’m not gonna leap to a conclusion on that based on a job title

Kyle Okposo, 13 points in 35 games.

Jeff Skinner, 13 points in 51 games.

One makes $6 million for 2 more years, the other $9 million for 6 more years.

Neither of them are REASONABLY tradeable.

Absolutely

Kagm is managing generally
Karmanos is general manager

I like what's going on with this team .
