Agent: All signs point to Kyle Okposo hitting free agency

Kyle Okposo's agent is preparing to receive offers for the coveted winger.

Pat Brisson, who represents the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent, confirmed to Pierre LeBrun of ESPN that he recently spoke to the New York Islanders about a new deal, but it appears as though general manager Garth Snow will allow Okposo to test the open market.

"All indications are that we're headed to free agency with Kyle," Brisson said.

Okposo, who was drafted seventh overall by the Islanders in 2006, is on the heels of a string of strong seasons, averaging 0.87 points per game since the beginning of 2013-14.

The 28-year-old is coming off a five-year contract that carried a cap hit of $2.8 million, a valuation that will rise significantly on his next deal.
