We are going to finish in the bottom 3 and eichel is obviously gone.

What is going on with this site?

Of course not. Big name UFAs are not going to Buffalo. Eichel is clearly done there.

They could offer their 2nd round pick to get a team to take Okposo, for space to overpay the UFAs. Could give Letang 8x3, Hertl 11x7, Klingberg 10x7. Could drop to 21 players and go higher than that.

Eichel is probably not happy about working for Buffalo's current management/medical staff anymore. True. But by the fact that you're arguing about whether UFAs would sign, I take it you agree the above team makes the playoffs?

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, you'd think by paying to get rid of Okposo they would remember the lesson they learned about over paying aging UFA's on long term contracts

First off, no… a second rounder doesn’t get rid of okposo.

A big part of why players aren’t going to buffalo isn’t the management…it’s the city.
