So, are there rumors that DaCosta is coming back to NHL? I recall he was a highly skilled center but a bit small for the old NHL.

He's 29 and I think Ottawa stull owns his rights for another year because he bailed out as RFA (similar to the Hudler scenario). I'll pass, would rather sign some randowm Euro D_man as originally proposed.

He was 6th in the league with 51 points (all positions), which is pretty good.

Anyone know if this guy will have a legit shot to be on the roster next season? Or AHL bound?

I don't know. He looked like next Karlsson during his hot streak in Finland. He skates the same way and holds the stick same way, but of course, he is not Erik Karlsson. He is Oliwer Kaski. Son of former Finnish national level player Olli Kaski.

Only I can say, his ceiling seems to be high. But of course, nothing is a quarantee. He could bust. It's boom or bust, I think.

Former Stanley Cup winner Ville Nieminen seemed to be very great coach for him at Pelicans, on mental side.

cool was hoping the Wings would go after him

we'll see how he turns out but certainly seems worth a shot after the season he had in any case,the team needs defensive talent any way it can get it

Adjusting to the lack of time and space in the NHL will be huge for him, obviously. If he can get that shot of just a little quicker he could be a weapon in the NHL with a defensive defenseman on his pair.

Had no idea who he was until watching the Finland v Russia game a few days ago, remember being very impressed by him during the game. Pleasently surprised that he'll likely sign with the wings. Will definitely follow him closely throughout the tournament.

No high hopes yet, but you can never go wrong with these signings.

Here are some highlights :



Judging from this, he seems to have a booming shot and great skating.
