Columbus says no quickly.

Don't want to give away MIttelstadt just to move Okposo. Yes he is overpaid, but hes useful and the risk reward is too much on dumping mittelstadt.

CBJ decline

Good luck moving that Okposo contract, Detroit easily declines. If you want to entice a team try BUF 1st this year or Cozens.

That's outrageous

Don't think it will cost that much but probably Jokihariju minimum. Not a chance they get rid of him for that package.

Oof hard no from Columbus. We’d rather have Savard, Jenner, Anderson and Marchenko vs a meh, top 4 d and an AHL player.

Okposo will cost more than your package to rid themselves of his 3 years at 6 million. Not saying Couzens but I doubt Mittelstadt is an enticing piece.

That contract is outrageous (especially in a potential flat cap world).

What did your team spend to get rid of one year of Marleau at 6m cap hit (4m actual dollars irc) vs. Okposo’s 3 years and 11-14 actual in a flat cap?

We have plenty of cap space

Great, ride out Okposo until the last year and then ship him off if you need cap space. I only questioned the horrible return for Detroit in taking on his contract.

I wouldn't do Savard for Risto straight up - and you want us to add one of our better wing prospects who JK said at the deadline is untouchable AND our current #2C stand-in AND our power forward winger AND retain on Savard and all we get in return to make up the difference is a 26-year-old AHLer at a position we're already overstocked at?

I'm not sure you could have made a worse proposal for the Jackets if you tried.

Dubas overpaid to move out Marleau. If the piece is Buffalo's 1st this year Ottawa jumps in on that and so do several other teams like the Montreal Canadians.

I think a reasonable price to move him out would be Okposo + Kahun + 2020 2nd for Abdelkader.
