Value of: Klim Kostin

[hotcabbagesoup]

Especially to you Edmonton Oiler fans!!!! The KLIM REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPER!!!!!!!!

Now that Connor Mcjesus is injured why not bring beloved player Kostin back. He has gone on about loving Edmonton, the beautiful guy also wore an Oiler jersey to a playoff game against the Kings (while still being a member of the Sharks!! I don't mind).

Please take him, the guy is kostin me brain cells watching him play.

Not making any trades until we lose another game. We've started a new streak. Quick, nobody change your underwear until we lose!

Many Oil fans would want him back but you'd need to retain 50% and the return is mid round pick at best.

Dude could have stayed in a good situation in Edmonton and continue improving. But he made his choice and retreads rarely have the same magic.

Can't retain. Our slots are all used up.

Even if we could we could just dump him on waivers and not have to retain at all.

We can't retain, I'd accept a bag of cricket balls and a half-scratched lottery ticket.

His problem is the cap hit

 

[Stewie Griffin]

He could be on waivers any day now lol...

 

[ManofSteel55]

Sorry Sharks. You can't retain, we aren't taking on that contract.

this player is undisciplined and slow witted. he is the kind of player you can have the entire san jose roster and say no get THIS guy out of here, he is that much of a failed player

 

[Dazed and Confused]

If the Sharks are nearing the point where they'll accept future considerations with him, I wouldn't mind trying to find a team with cap space that's willing eat 1mil for a 5th or 6th (Blue Jackets/ Ducks, ect) and make it into a 3 way trade.

Kostin has his warts, but without Kane the Oil are dying for any size and physicality up front.

There might not be a player who’s value to a singular fanbase so outstrips his career value than Kostin is to the Oilers. Literally every other fanbase that has “owned” this guy - Blues, Wings, Sharks - can’t wait to get him as far from the line-up as possible but for a couple of magical months in his now 8 year professional North American career he wasn’t a completely infuriating drag.

Oilers fans were disproportionality irate when he wasn’t brought back when the reality is he was always going to turn back into a pumpkin and they are better off without him. There is no need to go back to that well if you are Edmonton.

He had a defined role here and brought an element the team lacked. I think he made a terrible career choice leaving honestly even though he got paid.
