[Spector] Told that Avangard Omsk (KHL) has given up on signing Klim Kostin, now that the Red Wings have acquired him. Expect a two-year deal in Detroit for the former Oiler and Blue.

This is a good thing
I’m assuming two years because that gets him to UFA status.
Hell yeah. We need a player like him so badly
Love it. A third line of Ras – Kasper – Kostin seems like it would be an absolute nightmare for teams to play against.
Fuck yeah I think he could thrive in a bigger role
Nice. Seems like a plays a pretty heavy game. Love it if he can bring that aspect!
For those that don’t know his playstyle, imagine what Sunny was doing last year but younger and a little more skillful
I watched Kostin a lot in Edmonton and I am excited to have him on the Wings, really hope he can keep the momentum he built last year going
I love this deal!
Something something who do we pick at ten next draft? (Am I doing this right?)
Also Fuck Yes, I like this kid a lot
Big mean Russian who can score? We’ll take it!
So the KHL option was a negotiating tactic to get more from the Oilers
Excellent. This team just got tougher and meaner and more skilled.
He was my favorite Oiler not named McDavid last playoffs. Stoked to see what he can do
Yeah boys it’s on
The Klim Reaper on the 3rd line will be solid. Need grit and toughness on this team badly. Didn’t see Yams fitting in anywhere besides trade piece or buyout, solid pickup
Dudes a wrecking ball out there. Let’s go!
