Description
With this team we improving the scoring depth while still banking on young players to become top six players. I believe after next year Tage, cozens, mittlestadt, and kahun All have the potential to become toot 6 players. Will they all become top 6 no but we only need two and then two can be good third liners.

We also have plenty of cap room to sign players next year as well and keep first and all the top prospects.

I don't not see NSH even considering a deal like this. Turris is playing with Granlund and Duchene -- what does Okposo do for this team other than have one less year? NSH isn't that desperate to get rid of Turris. He is primed for a bounce-back season with the way Hynes has been deploying him as opposed to Laviolette.

And then you put him as your 2C and expect NSH to take back a 4RW -- that shows the difference in value right there. The extra year does not change that much.

There’s been Calgary fans on here saying they’d do Hanifin for Montour straight up... their think was that Hanifin was overrated & you need a RH shot defenseman who can play in the top4

I was surprised, and by no means do i think CGY would swap them straight up, bc Hanifin has the pedigree of being a really high pick... so i do think it would take Montour +

What’s your take on Hanifin?

Turris had one season above 60 points and it was 5 years ago. He’s not bouncing back. Which magically... is the same year okposo had his last 60 point season.

I don’t see ot as a bad move for the preds. It could turn out bad for buffalo.

Calgary trade isn’t happening. You could probably get kylington+ back. But flames lack rhw so probably not a good trade partner.

I would look to philly. They might be in the market for that and you might be able to get Nolan Patrick. That would actually be a good fit.

Yes it would be a bad move for NSH to trade for an over the hill, $6M 4th liner. Turris was one of NSH's better forwards, once Lavi got canned. Okposo would be keeping Tinordi company in the press box. I don't see how it could turn out bad for BUF to upgrade to a younger, more skilled 2nd line forward, without taking on any salary.

Flyers won't trade Patrick, for the same reason BUF shouldn't trade Mittelstadt . Their values are all too low to get anything of significance back. The only way to come close to recouping some of the investment that went into drafting and developing the players, is to keep being patient and hope things turn around.
