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.

I think the 5 schmil a year makes its a lot more palatable for Campbell. It really drives home the point of securing that one big contract in your career to set you up for life. Most of these guys in the NHL do not have the financial security and as much as it sucks to sit or play in the minors they can take comfort in knowing that they do not need to worry about finances.
At one point, ever player wants the money and who can blame them. Careers can be short and no one wants to move back home to be a city cop and have some great stories about some partial seasons in the NHL. Klim likely struggles in Edmonton this year too.
If you don' believe please talk to Steve Kelly (Calgary Police) or Bryan Glynn (Prince Albert Police) who both are police officers. Grab your bag when you can.
