Kyle Okposo
Okposo finished last season as the 20th ranked scorer among right-wings. He recorded 51 points (18g, 33a) which also placed him second on the Islanders behind only John Tavares.
The most important thing to note regarding Okposo’s production last season is that he recorded those 51 points in only 60 games-played. In other words, he produced at a clip of .85 points-per-game. Oh, and he plays on a line with John Tavares.
Health is obviously a concern for Kyle Okposo owners and I’m not saying that he should be in your first round considerations by any means. However, if folks continue to pass on Okposo into the middle rounds it’s important that you scoop him up. He’s much more valuable than the 28th overall ranking that Yahoo has for him.
