Kostin not qualified by Sharks

[bluetunehead]

Might this be the end of the Klim Kostin NHL era?

That’s great! Now we can bring him back and erase the worst trade in Blues history. Worse than Gilmour, Brind’mour, etc.

I tip my hat to this humor.

Well-played.

Petteri Lindbohm and many others ( Magnus LOL Pajarrvi ) Jaskin )come to mind. We haven't drafted perfect.

Well they didn't draft Paajarvi. They drafted Lindbohm in the sixth round. Jaskin is still 48th in his draft class in NHL games played and 49th in points despite going 41st overall and not playing in the NHL in three years.

But otherwise, those were great examples.

Lol, yep what a lame post, not even accurate, but alas:

Did the Blues draft Magnus Paajarvi? I recall him being drafted by Edmonton and the Blues taking a shot a recovering him.

Jaskin was unfortunate as they really tried too hard there. Jaskin did play with Washington and get a return shot in the NHL. Teams kept seeing something there.

Not saying the Blues draft perfectly, they still have more picks active in the NHL than any other team. I can post that article again.

Just using 2017, they drafted Robert Thomas in that year and took Kostin as a long shot. Kostin just never had the head to go with the skills. Robert Thomas is a top 10 in redrafts.

Magnus was one of the pieces that came back in the Perron deal.

Understood. The implication was he has something to do with how the Blues draft players. He doesn't at all. Maybe poor trad value for Perron. But Perron always seemed to be way undervalued for what he brought. Could be Blues fans just like Perron too much.

That particular deal was a salary dump so we could re-sign Petro. The next time we lost him in the Vegas draft, the third he overplayed his hand.
I liked him too, stuff happens.

As I recall the deal for Perron was for Magnus and a second which turned into Barbie.

I seem to remember the general consensus when we traded for ROR was, "wow we didn't even have to give up one of our big three prospects, Kyrou, Thomas, and Kostin". That didn't age well.

Yeah, and the 2nd was near the top of the round. It was a decent return. We took a chance on a recent 10th overall pick finding his game and got a very solid pick as well.

I was so excited when the Blues traded to get that late pick and then pick Kostin...I figured him to be a Kovalev-lite type player; slightly tougher with obviously less skill, but still someone who could be a scoring power forward...just never happened. Even being a late pick its still a bust in my eyes.
