    My Sabres plan B

    Stamkos watch is over.

    Now it's time to move on. Okposo will be the popular option. But he's never scored 30 goals and is in the middle of his prime.


    Tampa is getting close to being in a cap crunch. After signing Stamkos they have about 8.5 million in cap space, with Hedman a UFA next year.

    Murray should throw a huge offer sheet to Kucherov. 23 years old, not even in his prime yet. A 29 goal year and a 30 goal year.

    7 years, just over 50 million. The loss would be next year's picks in the first 3 rounds.

    Well worth it. Tampa might struggle to match.

    It's a better option than giving Stamkos $12 million a year

    Have to think they knew they lose Kucherov if Stamkos resigned since can't see them losing Hedman and can't afford all three. Like your plan. At least they get picks for Kucherov.

    I think that we have enough cap room for plan c / d as well.

    Considering we have an extra 2nd and 3rd next year I have no issues giving that kind of deal to Kucherov. I think Okposo is over rated too and prefer Kucherov as he is younger and seems to be a better goal scorer.

    I wouldn't give Okposo a long term deal as hurt chances in keeping Eichel and Samson long term.

    Pegula signed Leino. You forgot: our owner is the Dan Snyder of the NHL.

    Oh yeah.

    I am fine with that idea - but I think Okposo is going to get mega overpaid and there will be a lot more competition for him.

    The first thing he did after acquiring the team was try to buy a championship. That's exactly like Snyder.
