Nice. Love this guy. He's perfect for the bottom 6.

That tweet is more Spector guessing than saying it has happened, no?

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

How much is it Kostin?

There doesn't seem to be any "confirmation" in that tweet.

Yamamoto to be bought out, no surprise

Sorry. Updated the title.

 

[SoupNazi]

Good if true.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

If he can score 10 goals and punch some people I'm all for it.

How much is it Kostin?

Suggestion from an Edmonton article was $2 million per season. That seems pretty doable from our end.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

He's our Erne replacement. I hope his skating is as close to elite as Erne's was.

Nice

Well alright We are now, already harder to play against. Wonder if he will play wing or center on 4th line?

He is a pure winger.

 

[better Red than Dead]

People just thinking he’s a 4th line thug may be pleasantly surprised. He has some skill and can play up and down the lineup. This is angriest pick up, he can develop into a power forward type

 

[ManofSteel55]

As an Oiler fan, Spector is an idiot. I hope Kostin does well for you, but I'd wait to hear from someone more reliable than Specs here.

 

[Henkka]

Any clue about the caphit?

If I remember right, Oilers were offering 1.25-1.5M at maximum. He demanded 1.75M-2.0M as minimum.

 

[ColdToiletSeats]

a better Adam Erne

 

[RedHawkDown]

He’s got potential IMO. Oilers never gave him ice time. Seems like a Lalonde style player - with 14-15 minutes a game he can still breakout into a 2/3W PWF capable of 40-50 pts IMO. Low chance but he’s definitely got some skill.

 

[Hoog]

So, wtf, did he sign or not? Whats the hold up?

Who knows.
The hockey media in Detroit that cover the Wings don’t do their jobs! That’s the problem.

 

[Hoog]

All took off for vacation already? Or are the boycotting cause of the draft?

 

[lilidk]

If Yzerman doesn't sign KK today , does it mean that he could sign with any teams tomorrow?

I do... believe so, but TBH I'm not 100% sure.

Few sources saying they didn't make him a qualifying offer and he's going to hit FA. Not sure what the point was at all if that's the case.
