So he had one year good riding coattails of Pleks and Kovalev. Awesome. Other than that he is a 15-20 goal, 40 point player. He is what he is. He is going to bounce around the lineup with fluctuating ice time because he is someone whose intensity and interest in the game wavers.
When you are that type of individual, its going to be common that he bounces around the lineup. He is like a Moen for example. Not good enough to play a top 6 role but over short periods can fill the roll. Not comparing Moens and AKosts ability, just there levels of consistency to play the role of a top six forward. On a contender, its not inconceivable that AKosts is nothing more than a third liner. Its possible most contenders wouldnt want him because he isnt good enough or consistent enough in a top six role and doesnt play a third line role well enough.
