It might be tough to hear but it sounds like New York Islanders forwards Kyle Okposo and Matt Martin might be out the door come the free agent deadline.
Both are pending unrestricted free agents, and both have, according to sources from Newsday’s Arthur Staple: “[…]there have been no talks between either player’s agent and the Isles since the season ended.”
We ran a story just yesterday where we made the case to sign Matt Martin. He’s the perfect fourth-line player for the system and style of play coach Jack Capuano wants his checking line to play.
