The Florida Jagrs got a lot better this offseason and I am glad for that. If their kids step it up another notch or two it would not be out of the realm of possibility for them to make some deep runs in the coming years.

The Isles heard Okposo's contract demands early in the season and pretty much cut off negotiations right there. They never even approached him during the FA period either. Seemed like they were ready to move on. I don't really care about the Ladd for Okposo swap, maybe Ladd's style will mesh with Tavares more. Both Ladd and Okposo are getting a little more than they should for a year or two longer than they should but that's how FA works. Okposo isn't really the power forward people believe he is. Well, he was when he was younger, but he started training with Tavares more and started to move towards his playmaking style the past few years. Except he's really dumb so he just turned the puck over a lot. I could see Okposo's production dropping off without playing next to Tavares, but I could also see him get back to the grittier and simpler style that suits him better when he's not on a team with one of the worst coaches in the league. Will be interesting to see which path he takes.

In addition to the buyout protection, since signing bonuses are paid in large lump payments instead of over the course of the season, these guys with huge signing bonuses will be able to collect most of their paycheck even in the event of a(nother) lockout.

These moves by Holland may actually be genius. No one will want to take over this roster so he has job security now for like another 8 years. We are playing checkers and Holland is playing poo poo covered chess.

the okposo contract is too long, but i maintain that of all the big contracts handed to forwards yesterday, it is by far the least bad of the bunch. mostly because i am unable to be objective about the sabres, but also because a lot of those other guys are old and beat to poo poo and i think okposo has a better chance of being at least somewhat productive in the last two years of the deal

If you're going to try to win, might as well get good players.

The leafs continue to go back to the well on signing guys, selling high at the deadline and then repeating the process. It's a sorry state of affairs that they're the best managed Canadian team by a country mile.

Isles signed PAP to a 1 year, 1.25 mil deal I'm cool with it under the condition that Garth continues to look for trades for better long term options for a top line winger. Until then I'm used to Tavares dragging PAP-caliber players kicking and screaming toward the net Of course if Barzal shows up in training camp like he did last year he could just make the team and play top line minutes instead and all would be right in the world
