Report: No contract talks between Islanders, Okposo
Brad Penner / USA TODAY
Kyle Okposo appears destined to hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent.
With his contract set to expire at the end of June, there have been no talks between the winger's agent and the New York Islanders in regards to a new deal, reports Arthur Staple of Newsday.
Okposo, 28, is coming off a five-year deal that carried an average annual valuation of $2.8 million, and will no doubt be looking for a significant raise.
Drafted seventh overall by the Islanders in 2006, Okposo has recorded 139 goals and 369 points in 529 career games, with career highs of 27 goals and 69 points set in 71 games back in 2013-14.
Most recently, he contributed two goals and six assists over the course of the Islanders' 11 playoff games in 2016.
