Staal 3rd plus half retained to Seattle. I'll fax over the paperwork

doesn't matter, find a team...i hear scottsdale is a great place too with natural medicine for things like concussions, aches and pains

Like the non stop motor. Need more of it.

he's always around the puck...what he does with it when he gets it is anyone's guess, but he's always after it or on it...and that's a good thing

If we're doing Scottsdale then I'll go big -

Sabres 1st + Okposo (nothing retained) for Kuemper, Liam Kirk and CBJ 2nd

That should get people yelling

Don't trade top3 picks. *loud yelling*

And I don't know who tf Liam Kirk is. *more loud yelling*

Ok we normally see the cap savings for a team being talked about here but what about the player?

Do the players get their full amount of salary owed during a buyout? Many times players are bought out and sign a new deal for less $ so are they able to double dip?

I wouldn't Pay Skinner 5 Mil currently.

He hasn't been even a 30 point player for 2.5 years.

But points don't matter.

You win the cup now by how many penalties you draw.
- ImThatGuy

You win the cup with a hot goalie, and players that can turn it up a notch naturally during the playoffs, like ROR

He's Bri'ish, govnah

Now it's a better idea innit?

Skinner would be on 1 year 2mil deals for the rest of his worthless career when we buy him out

"The Leafs are all tossers!"

Ok, I'm sold.

brody is right...they really need to pull it off with okposo, and there's no reason they shouldn't be able to...

okposo has a $2M bonus coming up and will be owed only $6M for the final two years of his deal with a cap-hit of $6M...a 15-team no-trade list means there are 16 teams that are not on it...find one...it has to be done...

either that or convince him to got to ltir
- Michael Pachla

He puts the 15 teams with cap space/ the worst 15 teams on the list to be able to afford him.

What cup contender is taking Okposo?

You guys make this sound so easy.

Nah, Jack has the power to perform resurrections. Jeff will rise again, kept afloat by the wonder kid, but floating all the same. 25g, 20a, not great, but will lessen the sting of that contract once he starts producing again.

Byron Dafoe was born in Sussex. That's news. I thought the English played that soccer thing.

Then buy him out

It’s absolute lunacy to pretend this guy has to be on the roster next season.

There are back room deals and favors done by teams/GM’s all the time

If they can’t figure out a way to deal with it so that he’s not taking a spot of a solid young player they are absolutely inept and it’s crazy to say otherwise
- sbroads24

But who will take his spot in the locker room? We would be short on good locker room guys if Okposo leaves.

Looks like 3500 guys play hockey in the UK

I bet we have more than that in Buffalo

I'm trying to assemble a team of oddities. A bloke from Maltby fits the bill

fine...then you talk him into long-term ir

any players from sri lanka out there?

So who backs up Houser next season?
- buffalofan19

Won’t be Ullmark. He will be in Detroit

I just think it's time to turn the page on him. The Pegulas seemingly love him though so he'll most likely be back next fall. There's zero chance they waive him. I don't see that as a realistic possibility. And his actual cash owed is below his AAV so I don't see them buying him out. That basically just leaves a trade and he holds half of the cards with his m-ntc.

I would certainly part with mid-rounders and retain celery to turn the page
- jcragcrumple

A BO really doesn't make sense at all until 22. I think you're only paying a team to take him if you truly need the money. Also need to keep in mind that he's not just going to shift to IR like a lot of the other contracts listed above.

They won’t win a playoff game period with Skinner in the top six. Ask Carolina
