      Gonna have to give more than that to get SEA to not only take Okposo but you also need to consider you're paying them to not take a DMan

      With the flat cap, the cost of moving big cap dump contracts like Okposo's is going to be sky high ...even to Seattle. You're going to need to make that 2nd a 1st.

      Probably a 1st to take Okposo...
      Also Ottawa and LA don't really need those players

      I mean it's 2 years on that contract...which isn't bad in terms of what u get back, a good veteran leader with bottom 6 skill still who can flex up the lineup if you need him 2. Plays PP/PK everything, just 3m overpayed

      The first would be taking Okposo, you also need to make them not take a top 4 D considering 2 of Risto, Montour and Miller will be exposed. Take it from a Ducks fan its a scary thought paying them to take certain players.

      2 of Risto, Miller and Montour are going to be exposed though, you're paying them to also not take one of them, Okposos is one of the worst contracts in the league

      I can think of worse but yea, I agree now. Never thought of the cost of paying not only to take contract but to ignore the others. 👍🏼 I wonder if Skinner will waive, and we can protect another player.

      That would be ideal for BUF. I think I just let Miller be exposed and maybe trade one of Risto/Montour before expansion and then it isnt an issue.

      I see similarities to BUF now and ANA when VGK was coming in and we gave up Theodore for them to take Stoner over Manson and Vatanen because Bieksa wouldnt waive his NMC.

      Expansion is definitely a scary scenario for teams in this type of situation

      Thankfully I don't think our guys will become Theodore of taken but yeah. Say he waives we protect Dahlin/Joker/Risto(most upside), then Eichel-Hall🤞🏼(hope he stays)- Mitts - Tage- Ollofson- Reinhart-Lazar/Asplund. If he doesn't we lose Lazar/Asplund protection. That also leaves Miller, McCabe, Montour, Girgensons unprotected

      @Crazy66 I'm hoping by this season Jokiharju will play with Dahlin, also... Pilut will still be under contract in the KHL😡

      Honestly, they might select Pilut, he is playing very well over in the KHL could be a sleeper pick if he continues to play good over there.
