I'm prepared to be unimpressed. Not trying to be a dick.... I'm just not feeling it with Kostin. Hope I'm wrong.
Dick.
And I wasn't even trying!

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.
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.
And as of recently...our PK hasnt been so hot, so getting penalties "to get noticed" would be a HUGE detriment to the team.
Just play and if he goes unnoticeable, then he is good enough to stay/learn/play

The powder blue line would instantly be the best line on the team, maybe even in the league.

I don’t think so. We don’t need anything ....Kreider would be a nice addition though.

I don't think so, but I'd never rule it out with Armstrong. So many of his trades go down without any smoke preceding it. Still, I think it's a bit early for that given the team's spot atop the standings. This might seem odd given that the Blues have banked 15 of the last 16 possible points, but I'd welcome a trade. They've been suppressing offense fairly well, but haven't been creating any at 5 on 5. Last year they got by with an inconsistent power play because they dominated the 5 on 5 play. Binnington has been saving their bacon too much for comfort this year. Still, it's nice to have a bucket of points in games where you're playing just "pretty good" not great.

For more offense don't forget about Kyrou. He'll be up soon, imo. Has played 4 ahl games with 4 points so far since returning.

Was he just brought up to be a body on the Brouwer McGinn practice line???
Ouch.

He's injury insurance for Saturday's game. Probably doesn't hurt to get a look at him right next to two guys on tryouts. I don't root for injuries, but if some forward gets a minor boo-boo at the end of a win tonight, that'd make for a more interesting lineup tomorrow.

Blues have back to back games. I truly think he'll get into one of them.

I think Kostin plays tonight. Lord knows a few of the fringe guys earned a seat in the press box tonight. I’d stick him in Sanford’s spot and see what happens.

Sanford actually had a good game overall last night. But not sure who else you take out for Kostin; Thomas (maybe he was just in the line of fire, but when they showed Berube all hot last night after the TMM penalty in OT, he was looking right at Thomas)? MacMac (who had a huge goal last night so probably not); SunnyD (important on PK); Barbashev (possible...he ain't missed a game in a long time and also big on PK, but not sure how much he has done lately); JDLR (the new kids is a good candidate, and it might be a good chance for him to watch the play and see some things from the box).
Yeah, probably JDLR comes out, along with either Dunn or Gunner for Robert B to get a game in also.

That TMM penalty was all on Schwartz. Still not sure why Berube was giving Thomas an earful

No morning skate today either so we probably won’t know if Kostin is playing until later today

Again I am correct in my analysis! Maybe....sort of.
