Prospect Info: Dmitri Kostenko, RHD, - (VHL Rights Traded to Yugra)

[WeThreeKings]

My God what a scathing report. Sounds like he's an easy release if he counts against the 50 contract limit.

He doesn't and we hold his rights indefinitely.

Since journalism standards died a number of years ago, I try to keep aware that anything I read may be biased. On the face of it sounds awful, but I am sure HUGO figure it out.

that settles it, i'm voting for Beck ahead of Kostenko in our prospects rankings

He throws him under the bus and then threw the body down the bridge basically

I take anything coming from russia from journalists with a huge grain of salt. According to the media Kovalev was the worst humain being in the history of mankind.

it's certainly a red flag that he's been moved around so much between teams, but he's young and sometimes you need to be punched in the mouth to change you attitude or outlook, if that's the case here. If it is, he will either realize he's got to grow up or he won't get the message and his talent won't take him far enough.

I do like his offensive game though, good with the puck from what i've seen. D always needed work though.

It is pretty rare to see a manager cut a promo publicly on a player like that. Kostenko must have REALLY pissed him off something fierce.

It also says a lot about Gusev's character a well....sounds like a real scumbag.

He should shut his mouth like any good professional would do instead of going out of his way to bury the kid. I am not saying that he isn't correct in his observations as I don't have any insight but speaking that way about this kid is incredibly unprofessional and smells of ego and a sense of superiority.

what seemed odd is he's trashing this kid so bad yet he's the one who traded for him, didn't he talk to Spartak to see what he was getting?

He played 22 games for this GM and was so terrible yet if he had 1 more assist, no blueliner on his team would have had more points then he had assists. Yurga dressed 16 blueliners this past season, Kostenko had 20 pts, the other 15 had a total of 82 points, which means in less then half a season he put up over 20% of the entire blueline's offense.

that must have been some injury, he's been out 2 months and still not a word of what the injury even is.
