It would be an understatement if I said that I along with many others were shocked that Kyle Okposo decided to come back to the Minnesota Gophers for his Sophmore season. Everywhere you read on the internet or everyone you talked to said they thought he was leaving and signing with the NY Islanders. Heck, even hockey guru Lou Nannie said in his interview with Dan Barrerio last Tuesday that he was shocked that Kyle was coming back, in fact the week before Lou said he was 95% sure that Kyle was going to sign with the Islanders. I guess we can say that it has been a summer of surprises.
Everyone thought he was gone
Kyle Okposo had been considered as good as gone. Instead, the Gophers' chances of contending for a national championship next season got a lot better Wednesday when Okposo announced he would return for his sophomore season.
"I could have signed and gone to camp to try to make the team," Okposo said, "but in talking to them I felt it was better to develop for another year at the University of Minnesota. I'm still a kid, and [the NHL] is always going to be there."
