Cause you've seen him play so many times?

Handsome B. Wonderful said:With the confusing exception of Jozef Balej it's hard to think of any Canadiens prospect who isn't ungodly overhyped here.
Kostitsyn is just another in a Merry-Go-Round of hype.

417 TO MTL said:And if he would be on any other team, he would probably be as highly regarded as Parise, or Vanek...
Sure, we do overrate some of our prospects, but is it that hard to believe that Kostitsyn deserves to be included there? Or is it just because he's Habs property, he's overrated?
nomorekids said:with the names that habs fans are placing him in front of...yes. he might slide in to the top ten, but it's just not being realistic to have him listed as number two or three or even five. ahead of the Hortons, Staals, Suters and even Zherdevs.

Moskau said:Kostitsyn beats up on little kids. Big whoop. I'm sure the goalies he scores on and defensemen he dekes around will be in the NHL anyday now... UNLIKE Parise and Vanek.
Uhh... yeah.417 TO MTL said:I'm not sure if I got the meaning of your post, are you saying that Kostitsyn only plays vs. inferior competition?
thegreatone said:It's not just the habs fans that are overrating their prospects.Pits fans will put Fleury first for sure.You putted Suter second in front of Zherdev that's not realistic too if you ask me ..........
Moskau said:Uhh... yeah.
Name me some players he's dominated against that will be in the NHL anytime soon. Unlike Parise, Vanek, Getzlaf, Carter etc. where the majority of the opposition has a future in some form of a NA Professional league.
I could go outside and toe drag by my Dad and then roof a shot over my uncle's arm, both are men, but who cares if they are both scrubs?
Mark me down as in agreement.Rowsdower said:1. Marc-Andre Fleury
2. Nikolai Zherdev
3. Eric Staal
4. Milan Michalek
5. Dion Phaneuf
6. Ryan Suter
7. Nathan Horton
8. Thomas Vanek
9. Braydon Coburn
10. Andrei Kostitsyn
agreed. that's my list exactly as well.craig1 said:Mark me down as in agreement.
X-SHARKIE said:what has Kostitsyn done since being drafted that would make him worth more then the prospects taken ahead of him and a few behind him.
I much rather have Getzlaf, Carter,Stewart,Richards,Seabrooke,Bergeron and mabey a few others more then Kostitsyn. How you have him in the top 10 from that draft as of today is just biasness.

Moskau said:How many games has Kostitsyn played in Upper Tiers?
417 TO MTL said:Why don't you look it up...and really I don't care how many games he's played in "Upper tiers" whatever that means...
What i'm trying to say is, out of the top 10 players drafted that year, kostitsyn was drafted 10th, now why is it when I make up a list and I include him at 8th he dosen't deserve to be there, but everybody else does?
You bring up the point that he hasn't played anyone, he was good enough to represent his country at the World Championships as a 19 year old, dosen't that mean something to you, he's going to play in his 5th WJC this year, do you realize how young he was when he first suited up to represent his country?
I don't mind you saying that he's not a good player or whatever, it's just that you have no basis to say that upon, you've never seen him play...would you be saying the same thing if he was drafted by another team?
Moskau said:What country is he repping?
Nono say it... Belarus...417 TO MTL said:You see what I mean, you made a comment about a player, you know nothing about...i'm not even going to answer that question, if you don't even know where he's from, than there's no use continuing this...thanks anyways though
