No Kostitsyn doesn't have the potential Brule does. Its as easy as that. Kostitsyn, best case scenario 2nd line winger, worse case (the more likely of the 2), he busts. I watched Kostitsyn last year and he was maybe the 4th or 5th best player on the Bulldogs last year. Jacques and Pouliot were hands down the best IMO. Brule has already had more success in the NHL, and he is 19, and has only played 7 total games of pro experience, where Kostitsyn has had 2 years of pro experience. I will say it now and I will say it again, Kostitsyn is nothing special, and won't ever be the player the Habs have hoped for. P.S, Talent Analysis, your probably the most biased fan on these boards, and you more than likely have only seen AK on t.v when he was with the Habs, he is just an enigma, Habs fans want him to be the ansewr sooo bad and they just can't live with the fact that he won't ever be the Superstar they hoped for.
