Okposo really scares me, I think his numbers are skewed because of Tavares. Montreal doesn't have a Tavares, which to me doesn't make him a $6M player, I would rather Ladd or Backes.

I'm also not confident that Desharnais can be moved for a bag of pucks, let alone a 5th rnd pick.

Vast underpayment for Okposo. He would want at least 7.5m, especially in Montreal where nobody really wants to play. Face it, big name players would rather go to Dallas or St. Louis, where there's no pressure.

Why does everyone want to get rid of DD? Look at his numbers the last 4 years. To me he's definitely worth his $3.5M salary on the 3rd line as long as you keep him off the PP.
