Yzerman got suckered. Who could have seen this coming?You mean the guy that was living off an unsustainable shooting percentage and still got highly sheltered in the playoffs? Woodcroft was hesitant to play him more than 6 minutes when the games mattered.
He isn’t good.

the lacroix version of a 3rd line power forwardWhat’s Kostin’s scouting report? Don’t know him!
They should make it to at least the second round. They just had a 18 game point streak snapped. Milwaukee is a wagon in the same division though.I'm assuming Simek is heading to AHL... Please tell me that grand rapid isn't due for a big run? Wouldn't mind him back in Europe for the worlds
This. SJ is likely his last cup of coffee before heading to KHL.Kostin made a mistake not taking less $ from the oilers where he had a defined role. He might be out of the league now after this deal. Some guys and their agents really struggle to see the big picture in this league.

And I assume you have a glowing review of Radek Simek?As a big Oiler fan.. Kostin was one of the best 9 mintue players we ever had. In those 9 minutes he'd throw a good hit, maybe punch a guy or score a great goal. The second the minutes went up.. he was a liability.
At league minimum.. I'd welcome him with open arms back to the Oil for a playoff run as an expiring UFA. The second that 2 year deal was signed, he wasn't useful to us at all. I feel bad he didn't end up on a playoff team as he has a unique skillset if used properly.... hits, punches, crazy eyes and can shoot.
Not anymore. Sounds like he's cooked after many injuries. He'll be in the Extraliga next year. I could be wrong but San Jose isn't a juggernaut defensively and they sent him to the Minors a long time ago to ride out his contract.And I assume you have a glowing review of Radek Simek?
We all liked him for what he was but he's relatively small physically and he got punished for it playing as hard as he does. He looks and plays like he's 6'2" but he's only 5'11"Not anymore.

When he was good, I really liked him though.
Our defensive corps is beyond abysmal - in my opinion, we have maybe one bottom-pair defenseman and the rest top out as bench depth if not AHL quality (and perhaps middling AHL quality at that). Simek couldn't even beat those guys out.Not anymore. Sounds like he's cooked after many injuries. He'll be in the Extraliga next year.

So we agree that he is cooked and back in Extraliga?lolOur defensive corps is beyond abysmal - in my opinion, we have maybe one bottom-pair defenseman and the rest top out as bench depth if not AHL quality (and perhaps middling AHL quality at that). Simek couldn't even beat those guys out.
He provides absolutely zero offense, and because he can't skate he can't play defense unless he gets lucky enough for events to happen right in front of him, because otherwise he just can't catch up to the pace of play in order to be where he needs to be.
You win this thread!he ended up kostin too much for Detroit

No, he’s not slow. A head case, apparently, but not slow.sloooooooooooooow
The 31 year old on the Sharks AHL team? Yea, I'm confident he's worse.No idea who Simek is but he can’t possibly be worse than Holl or Petry… can he?
