I am not sure the kid is NHL material.

He’s not even 19 yet

 

[EXTRAS]

He’s not even 19 yet

Yes he is

 

[EXTRAS]

Klim Kostin during yesterday's intermission talking about Canadian captain Maxime comtoise and his habit of diving:

“In his previous life, he worked at a circus. Didn’t you know that? Perhaps he watched the World Cup of soccer, Neymar is probably his best friend.”

Lol.

From one captain to another.

 

[absolute garbage]

If he can somehow get some pep in his step, he'll be a good player. Strong player with good skills. But as of now he's a slug who can't keep up.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

In case people don't know that means hi in Russian. Simple, yet pretty cheeky.

 

[Mike Liut]

Yes he is

Ok, he’s 19. Not sure I’m going to label him anything at 19 yrs old

 

[Mike Liut]

He turned 19 8 months ago.... not that means the guy was right saying he's not NHL material.

Yeah, that’s my point. I’m not going to label him a non nhl type of player at 19 yrs old. He has plenty of tools to be a really good player. Big, strong, aggressive, plays with an edge , good skill.

 

[Newfoundland]

Maybe he shouldn’t go around cross checking people, bush league prospect.

Really needs to work on his skating if he wants to find much success in the NHL.

Just my .2

Can't feel good being booed on the biggest hockey stage of your life. Regardless of how the young guy acted, I feel for him.

 

[Mike Liut]

Love his game. Big, physical, tough, plays with an edge, can score, fight. My type of player. He’s going to be a force in the nhl. Anybody have a player comparison for him? I cant think of one. Maybe Keith Tkachuk? Rick Toccet?

I think those guys provided more offense even from an early age. While kostin may be a physical force, I'd be surprised if he ever tops 40 points in the NHL.

Probably depends on the success of the team, his line mates and PP time. Lot of variables.

After this WJC I doubt he will reach even that. What a great development path that is.

Meh he deserves it

Niederreiter.

[Gsus]

After seeing his celebration I was like "wow, this guy is an asshole". Pretty childish for a captain.

 

[Henderson19]

After seeing his celebration I was like "wow, this guy is an *******". Pretty childish for a captain.

Wait, which captain are we calling childish? The flopper or the curser?

 

[wings5]

The AHL style of play can be erratic at times, I hope he gets some NHL games this year so he knows what he needs to work on and is exposed to a more structured game.
