Coal Street with the first major re-signing of the offseason, announcing Tuesday afternoon that team captain Tom Kostopoulos has signed on for the 2016-17 season.
Talk about the fountain of youth: At 37, Kostopolous had 52 AHL points in 15-16, the same number he had in 2000-01 at 22.
And a nice video montage on Kostopoulos, which I have to believe they had at the ready no matter what his decision was ultimately going to be.

You have to wonder what type of free agents Kostopoulos will attract back to Coal Street this offseason. I’d imagine that there is a list of quality players that would love to play for Kostopoulos in Wilkes-Barre. Time will tell.
Wow! I didn’t expect his decision so soon. I guess he didn’t want it lingering on him during the summer. Great news! Great to have him back!
