I wonder if Kostin regrets leaving the Oilers? I heard they had offered him a deal, obviously less than the Wings and so far, it hasn't worked anywhere near as well as it did in Edmonton. Now with the Oilers, he had a high shooting percentage which I am sure wouldn't have continued if he stayed but he seemed to have found a role with the Oiler that worked for him but hasn't yet with the Wings.

I think he's fine with his decision to leave the Oilers. Kid got paid twice his value.

I guess but he's barely playing. Do you think Campbell is happy not playing in the NHL while making 5 mill? I would probably guess probably not. So unless you are the type of guy who doesn't care at all about playing, you just want money, I bet he's not loving it.

Not loving how you performed in a season is very different than regretting a decision. Kostin probably made a good bet going to Detroit. In Edmonton he's block by... a lot of forwards and might never is thought of as more than a replaceable fourthliner. In Detroit he could have established himself as a top 9 / pk specialist. It hasn't worked out, but he bet on himself. It's hard to regret that. There's also a strong possibility he would have been the Erne / Gagner player here. Nothing guaranteed his continued success here.
More money and more opportunity is hard to regret. Same for Campbell.
Now if the Oilers win a cup I'd probably have a small lump in my stomach for a while, but neither player is in a place in their career where they should be chasing cups.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
