It’s not just games, it’s subtext. Both LK and JR have commented that he hasn’t had good camp and is letting opportunity slip away. Berube is effusive in praise on Neighbours and Joshua and never on Kostin.
Again, I’m not saying he is bad, just that fans overrate him bc of draft pedigree. As someone else said, he can carve out Barbie type role if he so chooses. But he seems not to embrace that to date.
Berube and effusive are not too words that ever go together. He answers questions that are asked. If he talks a lot about a player, he is being asked about that player a lot. Kostin might be having a bad camp, or JR and LK are pushing a narrative. Neighbours and Perunovich have been their story since before camp. "OH Neighbours paaid his own way to St. Louis and wants to make the team".
We shall see. But I don't recall Berube saying anything bad, or at all, about Kostin. I haven't listened to all his pre-season interviews though, so I could be wrong.
