If Kostin Doesnt Make It

unless he took a huge step back in the offseason, i'd rather play steen over blais

If we aren't going to play blais then we might as well trade him that's a lot of wasted talent and potential

He's moved ahead of Mac (I never understand why people think he's making this team).

first, he's 23. he has tons of potential but he's still a fringe player with three years before his prime. second, it's horrible asset management to trade a player because it's "wasted talent" when he's going to come up in the next two years anyways. between bozak, steen, schenn, sanford, barbashev, at least two of those players are going to be gone in the next two seasons.
