Hi,
Im a habs fan,
Kostitsyn ended last year with on high note. He proved that he belongs to the team. He ended the season playing with Kostitsyn and higgins on the second line. That line causes the most scoring oportunities in the playoff run. Im confident to say that Placky and Kostitsyn have demonstrated chemestry. Higgins we know already what he in capable of doing and that line will be the most procutive line for the canadiens this year. You may not hit a home run right aways but im confident to say that he will produce in the high 50ies this year and i wont be surprise if he makes 65 to 70 points. The way Plekanec played the second half of the season if he continue to improve i dont see why Kostitsyn wont produce. He reallly is a fast and skillfull guy, he opens up the ice for is teamate, he as a very good wrist shot even if he did score only 1 goal. Before each game you see him playing around with the puck and its mesmerizing, he can do sharp turns ala Kovalev and you can see the motivation. Kovalev is a premier stickhandler in the league today and Kostitsyn is not very far behind, he learned allot from him and it shows.
this is my opinion
Thanks
