The Sabres and GM Tim Murray seemed to be hell-bent on spending money in the offseason, but after losing out on Steven Stamkos, the organization set their sights on the next biggest player available in Okposo. The hefty winger was given a hefty raise for a reason - he's a freight train on skates weighing 220 lbs and with excellent skating ability, and has put up 184 points in 210 games combined over the past three seasons.
