Kostitsyn, who is a free agent this summer, told a Belarus news outlet this week that Nashville management was too tough on teammates Alexander Radulov and his brother Andrei for breaking curfew during the playoffs, reports the Toronto Sun.
Recommendation: You had to expect he'd take his brother's side, but players need to realize you can't say something to a news outlet in your home country and not expect it to spread like a wild fire. Expect young Sergei to playing elsewhere, maybe even the KHL with his brother and buddy, Radulov, next season.
