Kostin played 57 games and should be on the 2022-23 list, even if he had the flu or something on opening day.
Connor Brown numbers in Ottawa were much better than they were in Toronto. But he got a bigger role was usually top 5 in forward ice on the PP.

That is not happening in Edmonton, similar to Toronto. His 5 on 5 numbers aren't great and now he will be 30 and missed an entire season. He does not have high end skill, size or speed so he's a risk to be very over paid and a bust for the Oilers this season. On paper I can see why the fans up north are excited when you compare him to the other depth but IMO Klostin is probably a better player at this point in Brown's career.
