Confirmed with Link: Dmitri Samorukov traded to St. Louis for RW Klim Kostin

[Bryanbryoil]

Future 30-goal scorer don't even argue with me you will end up looking foolish

Depends on his consistency and the opportunity that he's given. It's definitely possible on this team. I'd love to see him get a regular shift with Draisaitl.

 

[Rpenny]

I don't get this trade. Kostin will never amount to anything, and Samorukov might still end up a bottom-pairing guy. What is the upside of this trade for us? Makes no sense.

Would you like to.update your opinion?

Well now. It would seem I was laughably incorrect

Well..... I think I already did above, but maybe you missed the post.

I think it was one of those deals where it was a win win for Kenny. Not sure Samorukov was going to stick around with us for much longer, so might as well take a shot and get something.

Samorukov to CSKA

Why would Kostin go to Omsk? Does he not want to play in the NHL any more?

This is unusual. Where does this report come from?

Is it "interest" or "compulsion"?

 

[joestevens29]

Of course his former KHL team is going to want him, but barring some sort of personal information we don't know about it makes zero sense.

He literally just established himself in the NHL. Makes no sense for him to go back after the year he had.

 

[Forgot About Drai]

What? Kostin to Russia makes zero sense. Dude solidified himself as reg nhler this playoffs...

Link? A brief google search didn't turn up anything.

 

[McJadeddog]

Yeah I would put this in the same category I put pretty much ALL news from Russia right now, lol

Well if he wants to return to Russia he most certainly could. Forgive my ignorance, but have any pro hockey players or other pro athletes in Russia been drafted to the war?

I'm sure Russia is a lovely country and I'm disgusted by how anyone of Russian heritage is apparently "on trial" to condemn what one mad man does.

With thst said Russians are trying to get OUT of there enmass. I can't see klim wanting to return there when he's the new fanbase darling.

I mean sure if Omsk is interested. Probably lots of teams interested. I remember when AFC Crewe was interested in Cristiano Ronaldo!

Non-league side offer Ronaldo first contract offer since Man Utd exit

The five-time Ballon d'Or mutually parted ways with Manchester United on Tuesday following last week's bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.

I’m sure Omsk is interested in McDavid too once his contract is up

Well, there you have it.

Has he? He is averaging 8minutes a game. Woody trusts him zero and puts him out as little as possible. That’s probably why he would want to go to Russia, Woody clearly doesn’t like him.

Woody has a lot of bone head decisions, seems he rather play players for personal reasons then performing one's

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Kostin's lack of playing time has been frustrating to watch; this team has desperately needed his presence on a Drai or McDavid line

 

[MoneyGuy]

Would you like to.update your opinion?

You’re slamming a guy for an opinion made seven months ago on a trade that could have gone the other way? I guess you’ve never been wrong.

He is a threat to score. When we are chasing the game he gives us someone outside of the top 6 that can chip away at the deficit. 3 minutes is idiotic bench management.

 

[Mack a doodle doo]

Literally just found out the exact number for his ice ice time last game, 3 min for a player whose clearly been so effective and playing balls to the wall since he got here is absolutely disgusting, someone needs to grill Woodcroft about that nonsense
