I was wondering about him myself.....
What can we expect? Is this the real deal? Lets face it, the past 3 years - he's been Gomez bad. Just brutal. Having a nice little renonsance here.
Anyone gazing into their Crystal Ball?
Jokes aside, is this just one good season he's going to have after the disaster in buffalo? Or now that hes an islander, JT will turn him into a Moulson and Parenteau?

I think he is in a good spot.
1. Islanders tried this (with sucess) before with PAP
2. Islanders lack secondary scoring so when the young guns are ready to go (Strome,Nino) thats where the coach will put them.
3. Boyes has proven that he can put up good numbers.
4. Okposo doesnt seem to work on the top-line.
Is it going to last? What the hell do I know.
I think his best fit is easily on the Island. That being said, as a UFA some other team is likely to overpay for him too. I hope for fantasy purposes he stays with the Islanders but they're pretty stingy with thier money so another team might offer a bit more. With the salary cap going down though, it could help the Islanders keep him.
