Sure but they would be worth more in a scenario where it looks like (or even is confirmed) that a player is coming back no?

Correct. But... Traktor traded the rights to Kuznetsov to SKA recently without him hinting at coming back and they got a big return for those rights.

I would assume that these KHL teams were trading rights to guys like Kuznetsov because a lockout was around the corner right? Either that or just rolling the dice in case these guys want to come back to Russia for whatever reason

No. Players contracted to the NHL cannot talk to teams from leagues that have no transfer agreement, without permission from the team the player signed with
Kravtsov can only opt to go back for one season as he is signed until 2022 and IIHF rules prohibit a player from switching leagues while under contract.
So he has to come back to NA for next season either way?
What was different about Nichuskin’s situation with Dallas a few years back? Have the rules changed since then?
Edit: weird, I could have sworn Nichushkin left the NHL for longer initially. Disregard!

I seem to recall the Radulov situation was what prompted some agreements to respect contracts between the NHL and KHL I doubt the KHL wanted to start losing players who were under contract as well. And maybe that was something with the IIHF saying players who did that couldn't play internationally? I don't even quite remember any longer other than I feel like that was kind of what spurred the whole "ok we won't poach players who are under contract" thing between the leagues
The only positive thing Radulov has ever done (though indirectly)!
He’s hideous, is a crappy person and plays the most frustrating style of hockey ever.

Radulov's indeed kicked off the rules currently in place. That was also under the old CBA (2008). Radulov was initially suspended by the IIHF as they investigated the issue

Today there was a stream on youtube by the Sport-Express guys and if I understood correctly, the issue is that Wolfpack coach asks Kravtsov to go for a good ol' dump-and-chase all the time, which just isn't Kravtsov. They told that even that assist he earned caused criticism from the coach as he was supposed to just dump the puck in in that situation.

If that's true, I suspect a lot of us will be losing faith in the coaching staff. Kakko also said that dump and chase is being heavily emphasized.

Honestly i'd rather just him go back to the KHL if that's true. What a disgrace. Scratching a guy because he is playing to his strengths, give me a f***ing break.

Yeah I agree. Smart coaching staffs work to their players strengths, even if that strength doesn't work in that coaches system. AV used to do that shit all the time... be more concerned about his system than players strengths.

So if he goes back to not dump-and-chase this year, then comes back next year to what’s probably going to be the same coaching staff at both levels, what’s the difference in the situation?

Oh that’s not a good sign.
I brushed it off when Kakko initially said it in that interview last week. But if this is an organization choice and not allowing players to use their strengths, that’s bad

This is the same organization where Ryan Strome is given a top-6 role based on a shooting percentage of 22.5

Will he be getting an NHL paycheck if he comes back still doing what they don’t want him to be doing?
I'm sorry but I call bullshit. If this were the case, someone covering either the Rangers or Hartford would have reported this out already.
ehhh
the thing is that at the NHL level sure it's great to carry the puck into the zone with possession, but teams also specifically gameplan for you to try to do that so they can create a turnover and counter attack (maybe not the Rangers lol but other teams with their shit together)
Thing is if you see the other team stacked up across their blueline then the point is to not try to dipsy doodle through everyone and lose the puck most of the time, it's to instead get the puck deep and retrieve it.
If the chance to carry it across with possession is there then that's fine but I think young/rookie players especially from other leagues have to learn when to dump it and when to carry it rather than always be trying to make a big play at the blueline.
Like, this has been a thing in the NHL for years and years and years. No team wants to see their players turning pucks over at the blueline all the time because they're constantly trying for low percentage plays.
Skilled players like Panarin and Zibanejad etc still make it work just fine. The point is teaching players when it's OK and when it's not. That's all.
If Kravtsov has a problem with that then he's still going to struggle to break into the NHL until he either becomes the best player in the NHL who can dispy doodle over the blueline every time, or he learns when to do it and when not to.
