    Lol, anything. His upside, whether you think he's a bust, how many years till he starts getting some elite points, practically anything.

    the ilse are a terrible team right now, but there is lots of young talent on that team. Okposo is going to want to try to find some chemesty with Tavares or he will be stuck being a 2nd liner there for the foreseeable future.

    as a first liner is upside is 80 points (tavares would have to pan out too or else he ends up at about 75 with most other centers.
    AS a 2nd liner his upside is 75 points, since he is still a 1st line talent in anther 2 years.

    His value is based on being a 60-65 point player now with ability to grow into a high end winger.

    He's an outstanding player and a true leader for his team. As I've said before I have never seen this kid take a shift off. His ability to forcheck and his play along the boards it outstanding. He's driving to the net and across the crease with great confidence. I think even as an L2 winger with Josh Bailey as his center he can still be close to a PPG especially with top PP time. I would say probably 2 yrs away.

    Okposo comes from the Shattuck St-Mary's Academy program. They groom pro hockey players bigtime (er...Crosby). He's a player with a no quit type attitude and has really good skill. Been watching him for a while now. He was pulled from his college program at Minnesota early (in his 2nd year) to go pro. Apparently that school is starting to get a bad rap for development, but that's hearsay to me, as I don't know much about it). I think he projects into a 40-40 guy. I'd say that's his ceiling and I like him to hit it, or just below but still consistently at, or above 35G, with the same number of assists, maybe a tad more. He's doing it all alone in NY right now, plays the most minutes of any other forward on the team and in all situations, and if he was playing for a contender (ie with a skilled C) as a complimentary winger, he'd be a 30-35 player right now. He should hit 65pts next year and after that keep rising to his ceiling. His scoring ability reminds a bit of Brett Hull's, albeit with less talent. Say, Brett Hull light. So I expect above 70-75 pts, year in, year out, starting 2 years from now.

    I would say that after watching him several (9-10) times live this year that he is the real deal. Unfortunatly he plays on a bad team but I would say that in five years his upside could be as high as 75-80 points if he plays on a line with Tavares.

    he's better than Iggy was at the same age.

    nearly every goal he scores is impressive.
