Would Kyle Okposo Be The Ideal Starting Point For An Edmonton Oilers Trade Of Milan Lucic?



In a follow up to my video regarding buying out Milan Lucic, I take a look at Kyle Okposo and why he would be an ideal starting point for an Edmonton Oilers trade of Milan Lucic? What are your thoughts? Let me know below!

  1. Am I the only one that thinks we should keep Lucic?? Big strong guy that can still play the power forward game. Unless there is a decent trade that doesn't cripple us I think he could still be good on the bottom 6. The salary is terrible as hell but he still brings some good things when he is going AND if he ends his crazy long snake bitten streak??? Yea I know a bit of a pipe dream but still lol.

  2. Been an okposo fan for many years. He’s the perfect depth player. So versatile, works hard. Would love to snatch him up.

  3. Lucic did fack all to protect McD from Day one here. In that regard, he has been worse then useless. Maroon mosty, and Kassian were the key guys there, not Lucic. Letting Maroon go was an amazingly stupid move indeed.Yet another moronic deal that the average Oil fan cheered, fools that they mostly all are. BTW, I'm not including you in that group Tyson. I'd have had Kassian up on McD's line on many nights once Maroon was even moved off the 1st line, before he was moved out of town. Never would I leave him unprotected. "We have to get fighting out of our game"… said by a hypocrite and idiot. I have no thoughts on Okposo though, at this juncture…heh.

  4. Holland already said he wasn’t planning on trading Sekera he thought he would be useful so it’s probably Lucic hitting the door one way or another but I would take Okposo definitely.

  5. Not Okposo he's too slow, we need someone that can keep uo with McDavid; someone like matt duchene or mikko rantanen or hell jonnhy gaudreau just imagine gaudreau, mcdavid, and draisitl absolutley unstoppable and sensational

  6. Lucic, Backes, Ladd, Okposo, Eriksson, Brouwer, Nielsen, and Boedker….. free agency in 2016 was terribly overpriced all around.

  7. I don’t think buffalo would do this because I don’t see any team wanting lucic

  8. Sekera, Lucic ,Russell , brodziak can all be traded or bought out
    Trade jeese to Detroit for there 6th or trade our 8th pick and Jesse for a proven front player or two ..
    P-S…we need a proven back up goalie as well…. buffalo will reluctant to take Lucic thou

  9. lucic didnt protect Mcdavid at all. Against the flames when things were getting nasty he was nowhere, it was Kassian who was the man

  10. The problem is you have in lucic a player who can't score, won't fight, can't skate and costs a fortune making him totally useless to any team anywhere. This is definately a non starter, the only thing he offers is as a place holder to some team that needs the cap hit to make the basement and thats only if you assume its gonna be nessesary for the next 4 or 5 years, what's the chances ?!?!? What chirelli saw in him is beyond my comprehension even at his best he offered little and he is no where near his best anymore and not showing signs of a resurrgence in the future. Its a sad sad situation that the oilers may have to simply grin and bear.
