I pumped to see how Sammy would do.. I expect in St. Louis he has a better chance, and pretty good D to play with and learn from..
Kostin on a similar path as Samy.. but he's had a half season (last year) playing in the NHL..
Same age, same size, same contracts, both waived and unclaimed.
Looks like Oilers really wanted to move Samy, no need to trade to acquire Kostin, he was already waived, could've just claimed him.. same with St. Louis, they could have had Samy for free..
Odd trade, trading two guys for each other that just cleared waivers.
Could be both GM's moving players to places for a fresh start..
Samy might have fewer LHD in front of him in St. louis.. not same for Kostin.. he shoots left.
