Sergei Kostisyn has done well as a member of the Nashville Predators. A player in the 45-50 point range for the Tennessee team, he has been one of their better offensive producers in the regular season.
But I'll bet a lot of Montreal fans remembered why he got traded yesterday.
According to The Globe and Mail, the Belarussian forwards claims that it would be better for the lockout to drag on and that he can not adapt to North American mentalities.
Not exactly spark-plug comments, but if he were still playing in the fishbowl environment of the Montreal Canadiens, this would add another unnecessary distraction to the team.
