Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
Igor Eronko @IgorEronko
Dan Milstein-Hockey @HockeyAgent1#STLBlues 2017 1st round pick Klim Kostin is officially a free agent now. Free to sign with the Blues
Hearing Kostin will sign an ELC with the Blues soon
Why this is important is because Kostin said at the draft that he will play in the NHL or the AHL next season, so he's not going to play junior hockey or stay in Europe. Don't sleep on him at your prospect draft as he'll be playing in the NHL sooner rather than later.Klim Kostin, 1st round pick of 2017 NHL draft was granted KHL Free Agent status. We intend signing with St. Louis Blues in the coming days

Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
If he signs an ELC, he can't go anywhere without permission from the Blues. Once you sign that contract, the team decides where you play. Of course he could leave after 3 years if he hasn't made the NHL team by then but I wouldn't worry that far ahead just yet.Originally Posted by 2014olympicgold
Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
So basically, he's like Alexander Volkov, who was drafted in the 2nd round by TB. He's already signed his ELC and has said he's playing North America this year as well.

Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
I don't know about Volkov's situation but Tampa can assign him to junior if they want to even if he has an ELC. Kostin has said he won't go to junior and will only sign ELC if he gets to play in the AHL or the NHL, so there could be a difference in their situations.
EliteProspects believe Volkov will play in the AHL next season, so maybe that is the plan.
Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
how high should be be taken in pts league (30 team) drafts. top 15 or top 20? sooner?
Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
If it's just the new 2017 draftees I would say top 15 for sure. Both of the drafts I have done so far I got him at 14 and 15 respectively and was thrilled with the pick.

Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
yes just this years draft. ive seen elias petterson drop in some peoples drafts, not sure why, doesn't he have one of the highest ceilings? or is it cuz hes a canuck heh heh
Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
I'd probably have him around 15 if it's only this year's draftees, interesting prospect.
Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
I got him at 19th, VERY happy with that.
Not THAT hairy, honest!
Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
His wrister is absolutely filthy. I snagged him in two drafts 14 and 17, both multi cat 16 team leagues. Happy as all get out.

Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
I like him in that range as well. I wouldn't use a top-10 pick on him but he also shouldn't slip below #20.
Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
Im still noob with prospects but why was he only taken 31st by the Blues if everyone here agrees that he's top 15-20?? thx

Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
NHL teams don't want to make risky picks too early in the 1st round when they have safe but sort of boring choices available. Those safe and boring choices aren't all that great in fantasy hockey, so the risky picks with high upside are better for fantasy hockey purposes.
Re: Klim Kostin to sign ELC soon
Was he considered risky because he wanted to play in the KHL?
