TRADE!!! Florida Panthers acquire Kyle Okposo from the Buffalo Sabres
I like this I like this for the Florida Panthers just because they’re just they’re just they’re just a bunch of jerks you know they’re just a bunch of jerks but I mean really like to me this is a good pickup to me it’s also it’s kind of a heartworm story I think it’s
More of that Buffalo is saying Hey cap you you earned this you’ve been around here for so long you’ve been such a loyal loyal Soldier to us um and so for me like I just think that they’re like hey well and also he said he only place
He really wanted to go to was going to be Florida so that kind of makes sense in this case that he’s like oh like I want to go to Florida so if you look at kak poso and the player that he is um he is was drafted in by the New York
Islanders he and they liked him by the way the Buffalo Sabers signed him and he was considered one of the worst worst contracts at one point um ever like like one of the worst contracts just was not performing well um and so at $6 million they were like oh man he didn’t look
Good but you could couldn’t move him because he had a modified no trade clause of 15 teams so couldn’t do much to them and he also was like your captain so you know you kept so they end up resigning him keeping around for $2 and a half million dollars again just
Didn’t perform amazingly for the amount amount of money that he was making um you towards the end you can see 13 points 35 games uh looks like suffered with some injury as well again just didn’t perform unfortunately uh in this past season 22. 61 games again he just wanted to go play
With Florida and go play with Florida why not it’s warm and the taxes don’t help as well um especially a 35 years old get an opportunity to go try and win a Stanley Cup because you’re not do you didn’t do with the Islanders and you didn’t do with Buffalo saber so go out
There and they did right by them right which is why the trade is so me I’d say I mean it’s it’s meh on the Buffalo side we like hey um we want at least something right so they sent over KY SEL he’s an AHL he’s not doing much as
Contra contracts done at the end of the year it’s probably just just money hey take this so you get some money back um it’s not very expensive so three points in 22 games with the in the AHL uh I don’t know if he’ll stay there
Or if he’ll go to the AHL um I think the Rochester Admirals for the Buffalo Sabers I believe for their AHL team um before them they just get a seven seven round pick and then if the Florida wins Stanley Cup it goes to a fifth round pick and honest honestly Florida won’t
Care if if if they if they they’ll give they’ll give a fifth round pick if they win the Stanley Cup why not it’s worth it so again look at the stack lineup I mean ver he is having a monsterous season Bennett of course is rough or
Rough in the sense he’s a very good player you have tchuck um linan Anon L I completely skipped the first line picking up teras senko in a great trade that they just robbed from from the Senators but it was the senator fault for G no trade clause so your fault uh
Alexander barkov right uh Sam Reinhardt and by way this is your second line over with ver heagy Bennett and Chuck that’s nuts ant antonell londell Rodriguez and lucerin doing phenomenal great line great shutdown line you have cousins stenin and oosa just big meaty guys how big is oosa by
The way uh I see six six foot by 2115 I’m 225 and I’m 5’10 dude he would kick my butt um but again I like I like that um as for for them and here’s the pickup I mean he’s really a shutdown defenseman so veteran defensive bottom Winger um
And I mean just shutting people down in defense I love that um Grifford them again it’s just a nice easy pickup not a big deal not a Hu like just just a nice little pickup for the floor Panthers that who don’t need it by the way but
You’re doing right by a player and I like that I like when people do right by a player um especially when they’re later in their career younger players I I have less sympathy if you’re a 23y old and you want to like you’re like I want
To go to wiip Peg I don’t know like you want to go somewhere it’s like ah you’re 35 you you’re running out of time in the NHL it might be his last year in the NHL let him go get a cup man Hey Oh Captain My Captain love you hit like subscribe
