As a Habs fan I'd like to say we have enough mid 6 wingers.

We are the team with the most deph at the wings lol

No chance CGY is going to pick up Okposo's contract and that NTC on it -- that would force them to protect him in the Seattle expansion.

You can't necessarily rely on this old man's memory, but I thought it was just NMC's that couldn't be exposed?

Thank you both, I learned something today.
Players with a “No Movement” clause that is currently in effect, and continues to be in effect at the time of the Expansion Draft, must be protected by their respective team, unless such players choose to waive their NMC, at which point the team is free to expose them.

Edit:
BTW, If I were the Sabres GM I would do that trade. IMO Brodie has more value than that.
