Okposo apparently won't be traded prior to the draft reports TSN's Darren Dreger. General manager Garth Snow could just be trying to drive up the price by making this announcement or perhaps the offers he was receiving just weren't to his liking. Either way Snow would seem to have a choice, sign Okposo to a long term deal or trade him before the deadline next March. If Okposo remains with the team he is expected to once again play on the top line with John Tavares.
