Prospect Info: Klim Kostin (31st overall in 2017)

[2 Minute Minor]

I thought it was the other Russian we stole. Lots of scouts have said klim can be a first line winger

You're right. It was Toropchenko that was said about.

 

[Caser]

I guess Kostin can be called the Tank, since Tarasenko preferred the Frank nickname anyway.

Tarasenko has asked to be called Vladdi or Vova, not Frank and certainly not ****ing Tank.

And certainly not Milk. The word Milk could easily be made into by a derogatory word "Milktoast" by an opponent fan or player.

Milktoast is defined as a weak, timid, or bland person.

It was a joke. The guys on the team used to call him Frank.

You don't get to pick your own nickname

Yes. Nicknames are for dog.

I call Tarasenko Frank the Tank. Combination of both.

 

[BlueDream]

Oshie said the "Frank" thing as a joke in one interview, none of the players actually called him that.

Yeah, I thought that was obvious. The Old School reference and joke was obvious.

Right? Somehow that dumb nickname stuck around amongst some fans

Better than Gooch.

 

[KirkOut]

Better than Gooch.

You are absolutely correct

 

[Lord Helix]

The gif made the joke.

 

[RandallRitchey]

Considering Alex Semin's nickname used to be J**z, he shouldn't argue Frank or Tank.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

RIP in peace, Gooch. Goodnight sweet prince.

 

[Ranksu]

Better than Gooch.

Who' is Gooch in Blues?

It was Parayko for a while. I'm pretty sure it was my fault. It probably wouldn't have lasted more than an hour except that a couple people were offended by it, so a couple OTHER people kept using it to bug them.

But its been months without hearing it.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Did I just find my new username?

Posted a casual joke, but ended up started a nickname holywar... 'K Kool

Our board is weird.

I understand, that people love to overrate their prospects, but don't forget, that Tarasenko at 16 was better, than Kostin at 18. Don't expect too much and especially too soon.

I really hope folks haven't gone off the deep end and thing we will have another Tarasenko or Kucherov. With Klim's size and physicality already displayed, I just hope he can turn into a steady 20-25 goal per year, about 2-3 years from now.
