Unfortunately, Kostin and the team could not reach an agreement on a contract, leaving Kostin with options elsewhere if he can't come to terms with the Oilers. It's unclear where Kostin will end up, whether it be back home in Russia or
elsewhere.
If he can't find a place, he may be bought out, although nothing has been confirmed yet. We hope that Yamamato can find a new home before it comes to that, as he showed some promising signs but couldn't fully reach his potential with the Oilers.
