Same guy who just said he prefers Halak to Price in a different thread, since Halak is big enough to cover the net. Nevermind that Price is like 4 inches taller than Halak.
Plekanec is on a hot streak since 2007, and Higgins is fully capable of scoring 30-35 goals with a couple of good playmakers. I think that line will continue to do well.Good player, and would only improve.....but you guys gotta admit, you need better players around him...

Having watched almost every single Habs game, I can honestly say that Kost is the real deal. Really good chemistry with Plekanec especially.
He just looks so good and confident right now; a contrast from his last NHL stint.
The main reason for this is that he's finally being given top six minutes. You can't expect to draft a POTENTIAL gamebreaker and bury him on the fourth line, playing four minutes a game and have him put up points and be confident. Carbonneau is finally using him in his proper role. Top six minutes, and on the second PP unit. Helps that he's gelling nicely with Plekanec and Higgins.

that's not true, when he was called up the 1st time he played with Kovalev and Samsonov on the 2nd line,, what he's finally doing is working hard every single shift and has more confidence in his own talent
I would definetely agree. Ive never seen a player come up heralded as having an awesome shot make such great passing plays on the fly.Says the leafs fan, yes please tell me more about my team. For the record it's been a total team effort for the most part, not Halak or any other one player can take sole credit for winning 6 of the last 7 games. Kostitsyn has easily been one of our best forwards, he's set up many plays with some impressive passes. Right now he's not shooting much but he's creating offense every game while finally playing solid in his own end. Halak has been good lately especially at home, Plekanec has been good, Higgins, Komisarek, Lats (leads the team in goals in March) Lapierre, Ryder, Kostitsyn all have been good of late.
Potential of 20-25 goals (maybe more if paired with an elite center) but in the habs system I doubt he will socre more than 20 with about 30 assists.
one of the weakest picks in the 2003 1st round. potential to score 50-60 points, but also potential to be a nobody (hopefully the latter )
oh come on now. he's a habs prospect and we all know that all habs peospect arn't worth writing about. i mean hf board knows it all.
Bernier? Suter? Coburn? And they're not bad. There are others who are probably not going to make it at all in the long run.actually, neely's issue was his hip.
back to kostitsyn, who has superhuman strength and should be a star in the NHL for a long time. tell me habs fans, aside from jessiman, who is a worse pick than "kosty" in the 1st round?
On the basis of what he's shown, he's stealing money. He's been a timid peripheral player.i like sammy. always have been a fan of his - just feel bad for him that he's stuck in montreal. looking forward to him receiving his freedom this summer.
Suter and Coburn were picked higher. What have they done?when were those guys picked? just about every one of them after kosty. my main point here, is that considering the habs had such a high pick, their return on investment at this stage of the game is very bad.
Kostitsyn makes Samsonov look shabby and the Habs have to make room for some other prospects who can score more than 9 goals while drawing a far lower salary.he'll be out of montreal before next season - i think that's just about a given, don't you?
That's not bad but he can do better. Are there any young Leafs who could exceed that?wow , now your way too overating this kid too much, i believe a person on this thread has said 50 points? I think 50-60 points is what Andrei has the potential to do.......
So you have something to brag about? Tell us.dudes, you guys are really overtaing this guy alot....
