Nah cause Kostin is a goat

Eeli Tolvanen and Alex Texier were snubbed.

I was never a fan of this draft, but they still haven’t necessarily proved themselves yet to be good imo

Texier is a LW too.

Texier - 49 career points
Kostin - 11 career points

Yea that's my bad for some reason hockey reference only has him as a centre but he should be on there

It’s all good, he has played all 3 forward positions in the NHL, but the majority of his games are at LW. A career under 40% faceoff percentage will quickly push a guy to the wing.

Tbf to Kostin he was kinda screwed by Covid and an injury this is really the first year he’s got a chance at nhl level

To be fair Kostin has 38 games this season and has 9 points, Texier has played 36 and has 20 points. It might be his first crack at the NHL, but he still hasn’t done a heck of a lot of anything. I’m not saying he’s a bad player or he won’t be a good NHL player, it’s just as of now Texier has had a better NHL career and that’s what this post is about.

No I agree 100% just saying but how many minutes is Tex playing cause Kostin has been limited to about 8 a night

Lol, right now it’s 0 because Texier is injured. Kostin is at 9:12 ATOI and Texier is 14:36 ATOI, Columbus is also not as deep as STL and they aren’t as competitive either, so Columbus rolls their lines a lot more.

Kostin also has a 55% OZS compared to Texier at a 75% DZS.

He is that sucks
But yea I understand that cbj isn’t as good just wondering haha not trying to prove you wrong
