    If injuries stay a problem he’s off Vegas’s hands next season.

    I'm just speculating but Okposo probably isn't wanted by Minny or anyone else unless we're overpaying to rid the contract.

    I see alot of trades for Sobotka for one of two players either this KHL kid or a prospect named Waivers, ann to be 100% honest I dont think Anaheim makes that trade, they both have great upside

    Thanks for the feedback, I honestly just think Sobotka will sign back to the KHL, I just can’t find a way to do it on the site.

    I could add more to the Zucker trade/take off a pick from their side. I’m hoping Nylander/Nelson/1st is enough to want them to do the move. They have loads of young talent there and Vegas is a staple
    For what fresh starts can do for players. (Okposo in this case)

    You could be absolutely correct. There’s leeway on both sides (remove/add a pick/player) it’s just initial proposals. I just feel like Okposo going back home is what’s best and we are limited with his MNTC.

    Okposo/Nylander/Nelson/1st/6th for Zucker seems pretty close. Okposo has outproduced Zucker the last 5 seasons combined but Okposo was bad this last year (with limited help)

    Expansion draft always a factor as well.

    Doubt Okposo would be selected by expansion either. I mean it's up to Minny. If theyre going full rebuild they'd take Okposo, but we still may need to add another pick.

    Agree with you for the most part. I’d give up more and I think you would too.
