Kosov to come to Florida's camp

[Dobber]

Yaroslav Kosov is giving the NHL a shot.

Ranked 335 on my prospects list, but would be closer to 200 with news like this:

Awesome news. I have him in my main dynasty....he hasn't been able to do much of anything in the KHL, but has been dominant at times in international junior tournaments. Plays a very North American game....big body, great puck possessor, solid skater, good shot. He'll still take awhile to hit his stride in the NHL (if he gives it enough of a chance), but in time he could be a very good player.

It's a tough one because if he doesn't make the Panthers right out of camp he'll likely just take his ball and go home.

He only averaged 9:42/game this year (8:06 in the playoffs) so it's not even like his situation in the KHL is any better and I think the ice time is the only reason he's even coming to Florida's training camp. I doubt Metallurg is very happy about that.

He's a very skilled player and he'll make it somewhere, he just needs to commit to a team, stick with it and pay his dues.
