Expect young Sergei to be playing elsewhere, maybe even the KHL with his brother and buddy, Radulov, next season.","date":"Sat May 19"},"fullName":"Sergei Kostitsyn","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Playing on the opposite wing from Martin Erat for most of the season, Kostitsyn tied his linemate for the Nashville Predators' points lead with 50 in a breakout NHL season for the talented forward. Kostitsyn has an even higher ceiling for what he could produce, but that doesn't mean he will make good on his potential. As we know with his brother Andrei Kostitsyn, talent and opportunity don't always equal points. Serge Kostitsyn likely will find a new centerman for himself and Erat on the top line, and the ice time and responsibility should make it easy for a repeat of 50 points. The more likely result will be an increase in Kostitsyn's production, but given his brother's track record for teasing his potential, Kostitsyn can be had at a discount.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Sep 9"},"playerRater30DAY":0.9,"playerRater15DAY":-3.2,"positionRank":42}
