I don't know if Okposo is a player that you sign to one of the typical UFA contracts in the neighborhood of $5x5 as he seems like an okay winger in a good situation playing with an elite center. Every time I watch him play I come away unimpressed with what he brings to the table. Flames are getting to that stage where they have to be very careful about how much money and term they give out in free agency to supplemental players.
Regardless signing a guy like Okposo will be looked at as secondary to finding a goaltender or two.
