bluesman60 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 One player that was mentioned in the Bleacher Report was UFA Andrei Kostitsyn from Nashville. The guy is 27 years old, 6' 214 lbs and can play RW or LW and can score. His last contract paid him $3.2M per year. We need an upgrade at forward and he is affordable and a decent sized winger who has produced at all levels and in the playoffs. Nashville had issues with him which resulted in the team suspending him but maybe a change of scenery is just what the guy needs. We don't have to give up picks to get him and he is definately a skilled player. Just wondering what CDC thinks of this guy....worth giving him a shot?

JordanEberle Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Similiar to Semin (although not as good) in that he is skilled but isnt playing to his potential and is streaky. Any guy that goes out partying during the playoffs and doesnt put 100% in all the time is not a guy I want playing for my hockey team. I'd say pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Could be a not bad option if we can't get Doan. I liked his game when he was in Montreal but character wise does not seem like a Gillis type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needtogetswole Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 i doubt he meets the criteria of players MG wants in his locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsyukian Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 In recent interviews MG has stressed the importance of having character guys on his team. Guys that party in playoffs are not guys that the Canucks would want. He could cause dysfunction in the locker room, don't see him in a Canuck uniform.

shadowscyne Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 He has good size, has skill, but inconsistent, but would do rather well on an elite team. 25g25a in top 6 on elite team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logic Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 He's streaky at best, we need a consistent guy who can put up a goal every 1-2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
