Confirmed Signing with Link: [BUF] Kyle Okposo (7 Years, $6.000M AAV)

[LeafGrief]

This seems like one of the better deals today. $6m is good for BUF.

7 years.. Geez

Hes only 28.

Wow love the 6mil AAV compared to the expected 7. When I see Ladd and Lucic contracts I'm happy.

 

[Roksta]

So many EDM haters.

Same age as Lucic, same deal, Lucic is a dumb deal and Okposo is a good one? When he is always injured

 

[SnoopDogg]

Vesey(Hopefully)-Eichel-Reinhart
Kane(Unless he's traded)-O'Reilly-Okposo

Kulikov-Ristolainen

Lehner

Looking like a legit team now, gotta be happy.

 

[McDoused]

Ha, can't wait to see people say how the Okposo contract is great while the Lucic one is terrible.

 

[PK Cronin]

He must have not wanted to stay in NYI (why wouldn't you want to play with Tavares?) cause how could NYI not have wanted to ante up the extra $500k a year instead of Ladd.

Reports are that Snow didn't even talk to him, which would seem like he didn't want to bring him back.

 

[KPower]

He should give half of it to Tavares.

 

[ottawa]

Great signing, he's still young.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I thought it was going to be more than $6m. Damn.

 

[KingWantsCup]

Okay contract. Buffalo fans should be pretty happy though. Term is bad but that's the common theme with UFAs these days.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

It's an okay deal, though 7 years of term is sketchy. He'll fit with our top six well enough. I'm okay with it, but we'll see if he gels with O'Reilly or Eichel.

 

[Quares27]

Does Tavares get a cut for inflating his numbers?

 

[saintflannel]

Good for the Sabres.

 

[PWJunior]

BUF vs. NYI rivalry just got some salt and pepper sprinkled on it.

Not really.

Happy for Okposo, he's been underpaid his whole career and he finally cashes in. He will be remembered very fondly by Isles fans.

 

[Guardian17]

I'm surprised the Islanders didn't sign him.

 

[izzy]

Not a bad deal.

 

[sabresfan129103]

I'll say the same thing I said about the Lucic contract. AAV is ok, don't like the term.

It's amazing isn't it?

 

[Sonofamitch]

Doesn't make sense to me for them to continue to tie up money in wingers when they have to still resign their young centers.

 

[Liminality]

1st liner in his prime, probably the best huge contract handed out today.

 

[threeVo]

He should give half of it to Tavares.

except his splits with and without Tavares for scoring aren't different

 

[Yatzhee]

The ROR line is now complete.

Looking at 6 x 7, good deal.
If he can stay healthy and perform the Sabres are looking at rolling 3 scoring lines.

 

[Mitchy]

Not a bad deal.

Top 6 looking great now though.

 

[Beerz]

6 million?


I'll take it.

 

[Thorton02]

I think every GM is planning on free 2 buyouts with the next CBA.
