On the Forecheck Just when Nashville Predators were starting to feel better about this summer's rebuilding effort, what with the Patric Hornqvist & Roman Josi contracts, along with all the anticipation around the fourth overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, we get word from across the Atlantic that the KHL may try to swipe away one of the team's top forwards: The NHL's Nashville Predators may face a struggle to retain wing Sergei Kostitsyn after a source at KHL team Avangard Omsk told R-Sport on Thursday the Russians want him back.

That happens sometimes, especially when you've got a forward working back there, but what happened next might be the single-worst thing I've ever seen a Nashville Predator do with a game on the line. With Sam Gagner starting to pull away and carry the puck into the Nashville end for a shorthanded 2-on-1 break, Kostitsyn merely turned and climbed onto the bench. Here, take a look for yourself: He completey and utterly gave up on the pl...
