I thought about a new thread for it, just for DPW, but didn't know if needed it. But I'm glad the kid is going to get a chance. He's earned it, and if he goes in for Sanford, I think we'll all be excited....and we'll see how he does under pressure as all of Blues fandom will be rooting for him to succeed.

I’m excited to see him get a taste in the NHL. Wouldn’t it be great if he just goes nuts up here and never leaves the lineup. Probably wishful thinking, but glad he is getting the chance.

!!!!!!!

Please let him replace Sanford

Have to think thats whats happening. They wouldn't have called him up to get 8 minutes a night in the bottom 6 I wouldn't think.

Probably not a good sign for McGinn or Brouwer...

I gotta think he's taking De La Rose's spot for now. If he performs well they'll see more ice and maybe he gets some PP time.

I officially just lost no nut novemeber

Have him learn from Sammy Blais and Barbashev how to find a place in the lineup even when not scoring, and avoid learning anything from Sanford. Actually fight Sanford in practice!

If I recall correctly from the preseason, his biggest flaw was taking bad penalties. I'm not talking retaliation penalties, but rather stick penalties from being out of position or outworked without the puck. He's got 10 PIM in 14 games in San Antonio, but I have no idea what kind of penalties those were. If he works without the puck and stays out of the box (unless its for asserting himself/sticking up for teammates), he might be here for a long time. I just can't wait to see that shot of his again.

I don’t care if he takes penalties as long as he’s doing something! Get your name in that box score ...let them know you’re there.

Put him and Perron on the same line. Refs won't call a penalty on both of them so one will cancel the other out.

I don't mind if he's in the box for running guys once in a while, but I think Berube will be pretty pissed if he keeps putting the team on the PK becuase he's tripping guys repeatedly because he's not in the right spot.

That would really surprise me. De La Rose is imo, better than Kostin in the 3d line role. I would think Kostin is being brought up in an effort to improve the scoring. Sanford is maddening in his unpredictable on and off spells.

I would imagine hes gonna replace Sanford until they decide what they are doing with Brouwer and McGinn. De La Rose probably goes to the press box as an extra forward in the next two weeks depending on the above.

Troy Brouwer doesn't know if Klim Kostin is phenomenal. Troy Brouwer knows it's a mans game out there, so Klim should inform Klim it won't be easy.

I'm prepared to be unimpressed. Not trying to be a dick.... I'm just not feeling it with Kostin. Hope I'm wrong.

Sounds like he might just be coming up to watch a couple games and earn a couple NHL paychecks.

That would be lame.

I don't think he'll be watching, but this smells like an insurance policy in the event Blais gets suspended. If he does, he'll go in for Blais. If he doesn't, I think they'll put him in for Sanford one night and JDLR the other and re-evaluate after the weekend. Excited to see what he can do.

I also this this might be the start of something I was anticipating a while ago, that being the STL-SA shuttle with Kyrou and Kostin swapping spots to get some NHL time in. If one of them takes the opportunity and runs with it, great, keep them around for the rest of the year. If not, keep both of them fresh and hungry.

That would be a let down if this is just a paper move and he goes back down.
