He buffalo sabers are bringing back their captain Kyle Okposo for the 2023-24 season
The team re-signed the 35-year-old to a one-year contract worth $2.5 million on Wednesday. The season will be Okposo’s 17th in the NHL and his eighth in Buffalo.
“I can’t say enough good things about him as a person, what he’s done in the dressing room.” Sabers said general manager Kevyn Adams at the end of the season. “I see it over and over again, day after day, players are down, whatever’s going on in his life, they’re talking to him. And I think we’re lucky to have him.”
Okposo just completed a seven-year, $42 million contract that he signed in the 2016 offseason.
He scored 28 points (11 goals, 17 assists) last season. He has 592 points (230 goals, 362 assists) in 984 career games with the New York Islanders (2007-16) and Sabers. The Islanders selected Okposo No. 7 overall in the 2006 draft
