In order to sign Okposo the Flames will have to pay him #1 RW money for 5 - 6 years. IMO, he's not the answer to the Flames's #1 RW need.

I'd rather see who the Flames can draft and who they can sign for 1 - 3 years as UFA to fill that role.

I don't think Backes is the answer either. I'm not a fan of the way Backes plays the game. He's a less annoying version of Kesler. He fights guys smaller than him, he whines, and he's only a 50 point guy on the wrong side of 30 years old. He's also accomplished nothing in the playoffs. Big pass.
