Seems like an annoying player to play against. See if Edmonton can find a replacement for league minimum

Can everyone move on from their childish conspiracy theories now?

Congratulations to Klim Kostin and the Kostin family!

That’s about where I thought he’d get to. And why I knew Edmonton couldn’t sign him. LOL, their fans were talking <$1M

Would have cost them a third round pick to do this. Guess they valued the pick more than the cap space.

Of course they would. And potentially compete with bids from other teams.

They are 26 million under the cap. The dead cap space means zero to them

Of course they would rather have a 3rd round pick

Yup, just need to have the room to sign Raymond and Seider next year, but they should be cheap and the million for Yamamoto won’t be a problem. If it is just sign them to short term deals that take them to UFA.

At times Klostin was very good for the Oilers. $2 mil is a bit much but for 2 years it is ok.

For years the guy couldn't stick in the NHL. Then he had half a respectable season. I think Detroit is going to regret. This is going to cost them $2.5 M/season with the Yam buyout.

I do think part of it was definitely Stevie Y doing his boy Holland a solid
