Andrei Kostitsyn

[Rise from the Ashes]

after everyone has been bashing him, watch a habs game and see how explosive and a great player he is, very good vision and shot and excellent puck handling.

Sergei is Better

 

[Le Tricolore]

no he isn't.

not from what i've read, at least. never seen him play.

 

[Maithz]

Sure right now he is playing well but I think in couple of games he will slowdown and get sent in Hamilton .

He'd better be. He was a top-ten pick in a draft class that saw top young prospects(and many NHL-playing players) go after him; including J Carter, B Seabrook, Z Parise, D Brown, M Richards, C Perry, R Getzlaf, etc.

But yes - judging from his brief stint he should develop into a sound offensive player

Carter (and maybe Seabrook) are the only ones that would make me really think things over (Kosts or Carter? Seabrook or Kosts?).
Carter is a center we can certainly use (in a year or two) instead of Ribeiro.
Carter might one day develop into something close to a Shanahan.
I really like Seabrook also, but...

I really like our Kostitsyn He's got so much talent, it's just a matter of gaining experience/time, confidence, coach's confidence in him, patience with him, etc...
