Is he having an off year, or is he having an I-am-no-longer-being-propped-up-by-Tavares year?
His last 3 years in NY: .876 PPG
His 1 1/2 years in Buffalo: .608 PPG
He is now putting up Backlund type numbers (without the high-end defensive centerman part) and yet people would consider giving up assets for him. Yet other people wouldn't give that same money to Backlund, not having to give up assets, and Backlund is younger.
Personally, I have absolutely no interest in Okposo at $6M, even if we got him for free.
