I have no idea what he is worth to you, just wondering if he is still a player.
He has not played well at all. I'm not sure if it's low energy or low effort, but he's been quite poor. He hasn't earned a spot to play with better linemates so he's mostly played on the 4th line, and struggled.

Guys, I didn't think this deserved a new thread, but what is up with Kostin. Many on the Oilers board would love to have the guy back, but healthy scratched recently? What is up with him?

He's far and away been the worst Sharks forward this season, and that's saying something.

You can literally have him back for free. He's trash.

Simply hasn't been that good. He had every opportunity to win a spot with Celebrini from the start of camp and lost it due to lazy, inconsistent play. Same old Kostin, nothing new. Guy doesn't seem to have any interest in playing when things aren't going his way to the extent that he's detrimental. Talented, but I understand why coaches hate him.

He's just not actually any good. I'll accept a signed Zach Kassian jersey for him.

I have a real pet peeve about fans calling players “trash.” I get it if a player is bad, whatever, but “trash” is so aggressive and dehumanizing. Seems unnecessary. 🤷🏻‍♂️
It’s sports talk, if you think the fans are bad you should listen to old sound bites of Bryan Trottier calling Bellows a tit f***er 😂

Some notable line changes here, Cardwell taking Guschin's spot on the second line, Dellandrea back on the 4th line possibly means he is returning to the lineup Saturday (EDIT nvm Dellandrea can't return until Sunday from IR I think), Guschin on the "5th" line might mean he is being scratched? And of course they seem to be keeping the Ferraro-Rutta pairing for some reason they love it....Thrun is paired with Liljegren, Thompson seems to be the odd man out. PP1 looks the same but Liljegren seems to be taking the PP1 QB spot, I agree to try him out there and see how he looks

G Smith?

If Dellandrea is back then a forward will need to be sent down unless someone is hurt enough to be on IR. I don’t get sending G Smith down just to have Guschin sit in the press box, but we will see.

One can only hope they're easing Liljegren into the lineup rather than actually liking the Ferraro-Rutta pair...
That pair has gotten a lot of penalty kill minutes. However we feel about them, there's nothing that suggests to me that Warsofsky is losing patience with Rutta. I would like to see a Thrun-Thompson pairing personally and Rutta being the swing guy.

Ferraro-Rutta is staying together because it doesn't make sense to deploy Ferraro-Liljegren or Thrun-Rutta as a shutdown pair.

do you guys think cardwell's graduating from the AHL with this stint or is he going down once dellandrea and celebrini get back. i'm pretty torn. i feel like he's good enough to cycle in at the very least but there's no reason to have him not play in the AHL.
