Elite Prospects Profile

The Athletic's Corey Pronman on Kostadinski: "Kostandinski’s defensive value is what draws you to him. He’s 6-foot-5 and plays quite hard. He breaks up a ton of attacks with both his stick and body. He will make stops as a pro. The question will be whether he can move pucks. His skating is an issue too as he has a heavy stride that will limit him at higher levels."

6'5". Hits. Loves to get involved. Lots of penalty minutes. Breaks up a ton of attacks with his stick and body?

Sign me TF up!

The Bruins concluded their 2023 NHL Draft by selecting Casper Nässén and Kristian Kostadinski in the seventh round.

“Teams looking to add a defensive ‘D’ who plays with some edge will track Kostadinski closely this season,” Sportsnet wrote in August. “He’s a big body who knows his limitations and plays to his strengths. He isn’t likely to produce much offensively, but he is capable of making the first pass. Kostadinski takes pride in cleaning out his crease and making life miserable on opponents along the boards.”

Sounds like he can be a Carlo who uses his size, if he can improve his skating.

 

[McGarnagle]

I like his name

Fun fact,
In Redline
Kostandinski was ranked higher (145) than Hendrickson (148)

Some 18 year old Chara vibes.

Would be awesome if he eventually turns out as a McQuaid-esque dman. Quaider was the perfect #6d for a long time.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

One of four players to play in all 62 regular season games for Dubuque.

Thought he was ineligible for college hockey having played in Sweden's SHL but it looks like he is committed to Boston College.

Have the rules changed?

I liked Hendrickson way more than Pelosi and it would seem Chris will be signed after next season and not so sure about BH

I believe so, I know Locmelis played a little in Sweden and I think had a brief NCAA suspension before being made eligible

Did he play or was he just on the roster as a reward, I thought it was a reward but they've been getting around that recently with just sitting out a game or 2

Hendrickson was a bit buried, I'm still pretty high on him

He did not play. He didn't even have a contract. They were short a defenceman and he dressed and sat just off the bench. They had a contract ready for him to sign on the bench in the event they needed him.
