Buffalo Sabres earn an average grade for retaining Kyle Okposo

The Buffalo Sabres re-signed Kyle Okposo to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million, and it’s a reasonable amount for the aging captain.

The Buffalo Sabres made their first big move of the 2023 offseason by inking their captain from last season, Kyle Okposo, to a one-year agreement. This move comes to me as no surprise, as general manager Kevyn Adams implied he wanted to bring back the captain for another year, and potentially alternate captain Zemgus Girgensons.

But was it wise to bring back Okposo? The short answer is, the move has its ups and downs.
