Scouting Reports:
“Power winger who plays a very North American style game, Kostin is a big Russian winger who works well off the cycle game and owns good puck protection skills, works hard down low for loose pucks and can finish off extended offensive possessions with a strong shot. Capable of playing center as well.” – Brandon Holmes, Riding Pine Hockey

“A big-bodied power winger with strong work ethic…he can dominate for stretches with his cycle game and puck-protection skills…can carry defenders around the ice with his power and balance, or stickhandle around them with a deke or two as he goes to the net…high-energy guy, always keeps his feet moving…possesses a very quick release and has great shot selection…heads-up player who has a great work ethic and leads by example…works his tail off away from the play to get himself in position to make a play…strong intelligence and sees plays developing around him, knowing how to interject himself to provide the best opportunity…is responsible away from the puck and knows where to be to support his defenders…will be a real beast as he adds even more muscle to his impressive frame.
