Huckleberry Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Wouldn't mind Okposo if we can keep him under 6 mill.
GoPre Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 7:30 on free agent signing day. Little talk this morning on SS? Some what shocked by this guys. Start posting. Enjoy reading everyone's posts and most certainly the updates.
Sabel79 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 It was crickets all night in general... Welp, I'm off to bed. Am I setting my alarm for 11:55 so I can watch all the madness unfold? Yup. There had best be some madness unfolding...
North Buffalo Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 It was crickets all night in general... Welp, I'm off to bed. Am I setting my alarm for 11:55 so I can watch all the madness unfold? Yup. There had best be some madness unfolding... Fin crickets were loud last night, hittin the hay as well in about an hour. Alarm that why I have kids and a cat. If i can get 4 hours call me happy! Better be some news when I wake up.

There had best be some madness unfolding... Just a little nervous Buffalo doesn't land an experienced, quality top 6 forward. Really want the Sabres to sign Okposo. And of course, still has to prove he is a true top 6 forward, I have high hopes Vesey also signs. It was crickets all night in general... Welp, I'm off to bed.

Just curious.
LTS Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 I think the Sabres are in good shape if they don't land a top FA. Frankly it's usually overpayment day anyway. I'd rather the Sabres continue their controlled build than try to go out and swing for the fences. There has to be some limit to how many contracts the Sabres can go out and get right now as well unless they also move someone right?
Hoss Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Dreger: No locks, but early expectations: Lucic goes to Oilers. Nielsen goes to Red Wings. Ladd goes to Isles and Eriksson goes to Canucks. #hunch McKenzie seconded these and added Brouwer to Calgary as a guess. Uh oh... McKenzie: "We've heard a lot of rumors about how hard Buffalo's going to go after Kyle Okpooso. Crazy money, supposedly." We'll see. #Sabres Edited July 1, 2016 by Hoss
darksabre Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Please no crazy money. Do not want for crazy money.
Brawndo Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Posted July 1, 2016 Arthur Staple was on GR this AM, Buffalo is high on Okposo's List as they have a franchise center close to JT in terms of skill
Lanny Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Please no crazy money. Do not want for crazy money. going to be at least $7M per, right?
darksabre Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 going to be at least $7M per, right? Ughhhh I like Okposo, but...ugh....I don't know. I could live with 7M if we make some other moves to fix our defense.
WildCard Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 I wanted Eriksson. I'm not willing to do the insanely stupid contract Benning is no doubt about to give him

Cant speak for 79 but yes and goodnite..
That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 GM TM may be offering crazy money because he's offering less term, no?
LGR4GM Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) can we get this thread pinned? Edited July 1, 2016 by LGR4GM
TrueBlueGED Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 I am officially tasking those of you who work in the city to take early lunch for the purpose of going to FNC to save Tim Murray from himself.
LGR4GM Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 I am officially tasking those of you who work in the city to take early lunch for the purpose of going to FNC to save Tim Murray from himself. yes, if we toss 7million at Okposo I may vomit.
That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Again: Isn't it as much about term with Okposo?
darksabre Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Again: Isn't it as much about term with Okposo? I think so. I want Okposo, but not into his mid 30s. I'd do 7.5 for 5.
Robviously Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Getting the feeling that we're about to do something really stupid.
Hoss Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Yucky... Lavoie saying teams will offer Okposo 7 years, $49M.
GoPre Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Getting the feeling that we're about to do something really stupid. First time for everything.... In my opinion Murray hasn't done anything at the stupid level yet. Like to think he'll continue to play it smart.
3putt Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 I think so. I want Okposo, but not into his mid 30s. I'd do 7.5 for 5. This would be good all the way around. I would do this. Okposo's issue with Isles was term. But if the aggregate value is the same and somewhat guaranteed he should do it and maybe finish his career in Minnesota.
That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 I think so. I want Okposo, but not into his mid 30s. I'd do 7.5 for 5. YES! . Give him even more annually for 4.
