Kyle Okposo has had a career resurgence this season, but it's not entirely surprising.
Okposo currently has 20 points in 20 games, which has come to a surprise to many poolies, but the main reason behind his success has been the fact that he's been given the green light in terms of ice-time. During the past three seasons, Okposo had overall ice-time per game averages of 16:57, 17:04 and 16:34. This season it's at a whopping 20 minutes even per game (ranked 49th among all forwards). It also doesn't hurt that he's essentially attached to the hip of superstar in John Tavares (close to 90 percent of his overall shifts). As long as Okposo maintains this role, he'll continue to produce at an elevated rate. The real question for poolies, is whether or not you want to gamble on whether or not he cements this role for the entire season.
