A person with direct knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that the Buffalo Sabres have reached an agreement to sign forward Kyle Okposo to a seven-year, $42 million contract. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Sabres have not announced the agreement with the former New York Islanders forward. The 28-year-old Okposo has eight-plus seasons of NHL experience, is a three-time 20-goal-scorer and regarded as one of the top players available in free agency.
