Thank you and good luck to Kyle Okposo

Congrats to the old warrior; he went through a lot here and I'm happy he got his ring

Luckiest guy in the league right now. Thanks for trade to a winner

A $500k bonus for Kyle.

And it looks like the Swamp Cats were at the full cap this year (slightly over according to Puckpedia) so that $500k comes off next year's cap for them.  

Heck, they'd've been better off losing tonight, they'd still have a 5th round pick instead of a 7th round and an extra $500k. /sarcasm

So happy for all four former Sabres, particularly Reinhart and Okposo.

5.  EVERYBODY forgets Kulikov.  The man LITERALLY breaks his ass for the Sabres and nobody cares nor remembers.  😉 

(And, technically 6 as it looks like Dudley is still a special advisor or has some other role for them.)

That's how Terry and Kevyn think.

Okposo is in for Cousins so we can see if the motivating captain can motivate 🙂

That says a lot to the Panthers on how much respect Okie got as he was the 3rd to raise the cup. He was even mentioned in one of the in-between interviews by a Panther's player in the first. Buffalo earned much respect points by sending Okie to Florida and them winning.

Doing right by Okposo will help our image for sure

Fl teammates calling out Okie’s leadership.  But he wasn’t a good enough leader here to some.

He was always good enough as a leader and a 4th line player and this series proved it.
