“Unrestricted Free Agents: Who’s Left on the Market?”
As the summer heat continues to scorch, the NHL offseason is in full swing. With the majority of unrestricted free agents (UFAs) already scooped up by teams, one name still stands out on the market: Klim Kostin, former forward for the St. Louis Blues.
It’s no surprise that most UFAs have found new homes by now, as teams scramble to secure their rosters for the upcoming season. But Kostin’s absence from the list of signed players raises questions about his future in the league.
The 21-year-old Russian has yet to make a significant impact in the NHL, having only played in four games for the Blues last season. However, his potential and skill have not gone unnoticed, as he was a first-round draft pick in 2017.
So why hasn’t Kostin been snatched up by a team yet? Some speculate that his lack of experience and production may be a deterrent for potential suitors. Others believe that the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming season due to the pandemic may be causing teams to hold off on making big signings.
Whatever the reason may be, Kostin’s availability on the market presents a unique opportunity for teams looking to add depth to their lineup. With his size, speed, and scoring ability, he could be a valuable asset for any team willing to take a chance on him.
As we enter the final stretch of the offseason, all eyes will be on Kostin and where he will end up. Will he finally find a new home and prove his worth in the NHL? Only time will tell.
