Sharks' Klim Kostin: On his way to San Jose
Rotowire
Kostin was traded to San Jose from Detroit in exchange for Radim Simek and a 2024 seventh-round pick Friday.
Kostin's played 33 games with the Red Wings this season, finding the back of the net three times while adding one assist. The Sharks will be Kostin's fourth NHL team in his young career after he was selected 31st overall in the opening round of the 2017 Draft by St. Louis. He'll likely see bottom-six usage with San Jose down the stretch.

Red Wings' Klim Kostin: First goal since overcoming injury
Rotowire
Koston scored in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Kostin, a rugged fourth-line winger, missed 12 straight games with an upper-body injury before his return against the Panthers on Wednesday, which was a 3-2 overtime win. Working in his debut campaign with Detroit, Kostin has three goals to go along with an assist and 41 hits through 25 contests. The 24-year-old doesn't see the ice nearly enough to warrant a look in fantasy hockey -- he'll be occasionally relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch.

Red Wings' Klim Kostin: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Kostin (undisclosed) has been labeled day-to-day by the team and won't be ready to play against Carolina on Thursday.
Kostin will miss his fourth straight game due to his undisclosed injury but the fact that he is considered day-to-day bodes well for a return in the short term. Considering the winger managed just one goal and one assist in his last 11 contests, he probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value once cleared to play.

Red Wings' Klim Kostin: Sneaks in apple
Rotowire
Kostin contributed an assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jackets.
Kostin only saw 8:04 of ice time, but that was long enough for the fourth-line bruiser to deliver the helper along with a pair of hits. Last season, Kostin managed a career-high 21 points through 57 games in a similar capacity for Edmonton, though he's unlikely to captivate the masses in fantasy hockey given his bottom-six role and the fact that forward is the deepest position.

Rotowire

Red Wings' Klim Kostin: Inks two-year deal
Rotowire
Kostin signed a two-year contract with the Red Wings on Saturday.

Kostin, who was acquired from the Oilers on Thursday, will have a cap hit of $2 million per season. He had 11 goals and 21 points in 57 games with the Oilers last season.

Klim Kostin: Not given qualifying offer
Rotowire
Kostin didn't receive a qualifying offer from Detroit, so he's set to become an unrestricted free agent Saturday, per Max Bultman of The Athletic.
Kostin and Kailer Yamamoto were acquired by Detroit from Edmonton on Thursday in exchange for future considerations. The Red Wings also put Yamamoto on unconditional waivers Friday for the purpose of buying out his contract, so it's entirely plausible that the Red Wings won't have either of the two players they just acquired for the start of the 2023-24 campaign. Kostin had 11 goals, 21 points, 66 PIM and 157 hits in 57 outings with Edmonton last season.
