NHL Power Rankings: #9

Coming in at number nine on our list of the top 10 Metropolitan Division wings is Kyle Okposo of the New York Islanders. Okposo is a bit underrated, but he’s a very good forward. Part of the reason why he’s underrated is because he has been injured in each of the past two seasons.

Okposo ranks 19th over the past three seasons in even strength points per 60 minutes (2.21). He is ninth in the NHL over the past three seasons in even strength assists per 60 minutes (1.45). He is an excellent passer who complements his most common linemate John Tavares.

He isn’t much of a possession forward, but his productivity tends to make up for that. He tends not to negatively affect his team too much while he’s on the ice. His even strength goals for percentage is 3.62% (30th among Eastern Conference forwards). He’ll be a free agent after this season. With a strong season, he could get himself a large contract in free agency.
