I am an obvious Sabres fan here.
Shibbal18 is correct, Okposo gets terrible ice time and his stats reflect that. When I make a team, I put him among the top 6. With Krejci he would do well and give Boston secondary scoring.
That being said, I do not think Boston would make this trade.
I could see other trade partners, but Boston is not one.
Edit:
On the other hand, since Boston's window is closing, they may view this as a short term one or two last push to win the Stanley Cup.
With the resent trades that Betterall has consummated, who knows what will happen.

BUFF:
You'd bury DB in the press box >50% of the time like any team is likely going to do.
You get cap relief TWO years earlier by getting DB (ask TO/Vegas/NYR about the importance of Cap) and
You get a 3rd (stats-wise that's NHL calibre kids mofo)!
Yeah D. Sweeney is going to take that call..."bring bring", "bring-bring"...

Do you not understand contract length?
This is trash
Quoting: Shibbal18
A 7th can be NHL calibur. The %s arent high but they can be. So that argument means nothing. You get doubled production and a player that can easily rebound with an opportunity in a role on a team that is better suited for him so its not teally 2 years of cap relief if Okposo produces better in Boston than he does in Buffalo.

K. 4 years of crap vs 2 years of crap.
This is trash, and comparing it to the Lucic deal is worse

Na, as a leafs fan (no dog in this fight) I can tell you it's bad for Boston. No chance they do this deal.

No chance Boston does this, two extra years for a player that's just as bad, 29 vs. 20 points in a fourth line role.
