When attempting to evaluate the merits of a trade, including economic impact, you have to look at the underlying contracts. Parise may have a huge cap hit for twice as long as Okposo, but he's paid $10 million over four years whereas Okposo is paid $8 million. Now factor in the undeniable truth that he's twice the player Okposo is and you see that Buffalo would be lucky to get a third with Parise, never mind Rask, never mind the first. And that's not even taking into consideration his NMC.
