So by taking Risto, our reward is Okposo?
Or other way around?

Wut

I don't think Buffalo should bother. He doesn't want to be there. Get the best possible package and ship him out.

This roster is still bad. That defense will get caved in. And Reinhart isn't going to sign a long term extension in Buffalo.

That defense would get destroyed

Defense would get destroyed, + overpay on Grubauer

Wow

You disingenuously omitted 3 parts of a single deal!

That's a new cap friendly record 🏆

To take Okposo:

They get 1 year of Risto at 3M$ (his warranted $) and get Tage Thompson's prime which is not nothing he has decent promise and many players peak after 24

Ogilvie is quality AHL depth

NJ have tons of cap space next two seasons and are a fair ways from contending, not to mention Okposo is fairly useful, maybe it's not enough but a valid offer

Providing input should be a comment requirement

This AGM provides Buffalo with the:

- Best NHL goalie duo for just over 10M

- most underrated LW alive it's very very easy to make a case that Tatar is elite and it's funny because analytics are becoming increasingly used here

- cap relief in ways to at least make a bit of hay

This is my point.
NJD would want Risto as much as they’d want Okposo.
They would need something for taking Risto.

Even if retaining 2,4 on Risto, that's 9m in utterly mediocre cap space spent on a 3c and an AHLer, awful deal. Can get way more value from other teams Besides, Okposo does nothing for NJ as they're overflowing with young talent at forward. This is one bad take my dude.
