laporte15 3 Report post Posted June 21, 2015 Helena St. James just had an article up, would the wings be interested in Kyle Okposo? What would the price be to try and acquire him? Decent size, Right handed shot. Just needs to stay healthy. Your thoughts guys... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decent size, Right handed shot. Just needs to stay healthy. Your thoughts guys... It would cost way too much for a guy with only one year left on his deal.

laporte15 3 Report post Posted June 22, 2015 I agree in the fact it might cost a bit. But teams are locking down there top talents now in the salary cap era and chances are he won't even make it to free agency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

number9 3,297 Report post Posted June 23, 2015 I'd take him, but for what? The isles were very very good this year and then got screwed in the playoffs by injuries. They probably want NHL ready D, which we don't have. Regardless he probably costs a fortune. Unlikely it happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I read somewhere that they want a top six winger.. which didn't make sense to me. Maybe they go for a different style player and there's a trade involving lucic or maybe they want an older vet and go for Sharp..? Although I don't know how much cap Chicago can take the other way or if they'd want him considering he'd leave when his contract is up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I don't know how much cap Chicago can take the other way or if they'd want him considering he'd leave when his contract is up. From what I've seen of Okposo he isn't that physical for a supposed power forward. Kinda seems like a young Franzen in that way. If they want a top 6 winger though it doesn't make any sense to me that they would shop him. He had a great year as top 6 winger outside of his weird eye injury. I said they probably want D because of all the injuries at D they had during the playoffs, but now that I look at the roster they have a number of decent D-men, even with Visnovsky aging.

Pretty much what I was thinking too. I have a feeling he doesn't get moved tbh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 I really wish we could've swung a trade for LD before he started putting up all these points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted December 1, 2015 They were shopping him because he wants too much money, not sure if that's still going on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
