Okposo: $6.0m per years - 6 years - Contract ends at Age: 34

Brouwer: 25 points in 74 games
Okposo: 45 points in 65 games........

don't know what Treliving was thinking or what medications he was on. That's just ridiculous.

Gaudreau-Monahan-Okposo

How good would that line have looked? Okposo was only 28 years old when he signed as a UFA this past year.....and he would have helped out our Powerplay....such a missed opportunity.

it's so painful. absolutely puke worthy.

One key thing missing from your argument. You make the assumption that Okposo would have take the same contract offer from the Flames that he did from the Sabres. Fairly good chance he didn't want to play in Canada or the west
