Such a great guy. Anyways had respect for him
Go Panthers Go Bills
He has always been a tough, hard-nosed competitor, but now you also see the high quality of his character. Great pick up for Florida. I hope we go all the way.
This guy is going to be a great addition to the squad
Welcome to the Panthers, Kyle,you're going to fit in just fine. Go Panthers
Well spoken, humble and not dismissive of others, there’s a reason he was a captain , this is another under the radar amazing move by Zito and I think he will do amazing with us both on the ice as well as lead in the lockeroom, he will do great on so many ways. Glad we have him.😊
I like this pickup, I wasn't sure at first but he could definitely be a factor for us in the playoffs.
Psyched
This year so far is setting up to be special, even more than the previous Presidents Trophy season.
Sabres fan here rooting for the panthers.
Hopefully no palm trees grow thru the ice when KO skates…but seriously…good on him…he'll be an adequate 4th liner
Another addition. I love it…

Oki, is a class act. Fits perfect on the 4th line and playing Maurice's style of tough 2 way hockey. I live in S Fla & I am from WNY, seen multiple games by both clubs in the last year. The Panthers just got a real professional and leader by example. Hope he and the Panthers win that Cup. Congrats Oki on getting another shot. Well deserved
Happy to have this man on the Panthers team.
Okposo is a brilliant part to Panthers hockey history. I actually think he will play in Florida as long as he can. Love his attitude. He is in Florida to win Stanley Cup many times.
