Pretty good article. It's funny... I don't think anyone has even mentioned Kosov in a year. Pretty sure nobody here considers him a genuine NHL prospect.

I haven't seen him sincethe WJC two years ago. I think everyone is still hoping that his skills catch up to his size, but who knows. I believe the team has one more year before they have to sign him or let him walk.

Kyle Rau continues to be consistent and a leader.. gets no mention waaah

I'm blaming Keenan for Kosov.

Maybe it's a scheme to get him to leave the KHL and sign with us

I was just going to say that - who the hell let Keenan near one of our prospects? You KNOW what he does to prospects...

Well, Kosov's team was the KHL champions, so it might be hard to get ice time there. But I still think he could be a good 4th liner even if his offensive skills never quite develop. With that size, willingness to use it, and good skating ability for his size, he could carve out a niche while scoring the occasional goal. The question is will he ever come over. He'd have to start out in the AHL obviously.

According to Stephen Weiss he makes them keep their sticks on the ice when they don't have the puck for defensive reasons.

Unacceptable!

i love that we had jugs with rau and now mccoshen with matheson. it makes for good chemistry in years to come. even if it doesn't pan out. it's still nice to know some of these guys will be familiar with each other. and makes for transitions to the next levels alot more easier.

i hope this is the year we can put out a competitve panther team as well as a rampage team.

I fully expect McCoshen and Matheson to be a pairing for us for many years to come. They both have good size (6'3 and 6'2 respectively), Matheson is a real wizard with the puck on the back end and McCoshen is a tough defender to play against. Although they are both left-handed shots, their chemistry at Boston College will likely translate to significant success at the NHL level.

I still can't believe DT managed to get McCoshen in the 2nd round. Kid is a ****ing stud.
