Back two seasons ago in the off season, the Buffalo Sabres made a key move to add some force to their offense when they signed free agent forward of the time Kyle Okposo. Prior to his signing, he had a number of solid years playing with John Tavares and the New York Islanders as he posted 51 points or more in his three seasons before joining Buffalo.
Tim Murray signed him to a big money contract at $6.0M per year for seven years, and with that kind of commitment, Sabres fans were ready to jump out of their seats with the potential offensive power the team was supposed to have.
