He's back! :wave:

Why isn't everybody happy about this. This is great news.

Now we just have to room him with Rykov and Shesterkin to keep him focused on the objectives.

It's hilarious considering we're the beneficiaries, but big picture it's not a good look. Another example of his immaturity.
For heaven's sake, be an adult and let the coach/team know you're leaving. From his actions in Hartford to this, everything just screams petulance.

I feel ya. I just don’t trust anything that coach or organization says about kravtsov.
 
Chill out boys.

Just bc the Traktor coach says he didn’t know kravtsov left last night doesn’t mean the rangers didn’t give Traktor official notice of kravtsov recall.

Why the F do they have then tell the coach what flight he’s taking.

Again context: the coach could have been asked about kravtsov and confirmed yes we are aware the rangers have recalled him and he will be leaving for the US soon.

To which a reporter answers: he boarded a plane last night

And the coach answers ‘I didn’t know he left last night’

Remember it’s a translation of Russian and grammar and sentence structure don’t always make translations accurate to begin with

Amen. One storyline close at hands is that the prodigal son returned but the new coach with a horrible record chased him away. What the guys in charge say in those situations...

Would be nice if they just sit him down with coach Knoblauch and Gorton and they just tell him how much they value him and that he has a bright future but that he has to trust the process and that everyone wants him to succeed and that he has every opportunity to do so and then you go from there.

It's gonna be a bit awkward when he first steps back in that locker room, won't it?

Sergei Nemchinov would be a good mentor for Kravstov. Sarge’s daughter works for the Rangers as a translator. His daughter lives in Rye. JD knows Nemchinov from the 1990’s with the Rangers. When the Rangers traded Nemchinov to Vancouver, many people in the Rangers family cried including JD. Steve Sommers had him on to discuss the trade. John spent the first 5 minutes of the interview talking about what a great guy Nemchinov is and how much they will him.

Kravtsov and Buchnevich. Get them both outta here. Just when I think Buchnevich turned into something good, he turns back in a pile of manure. I guess this is why I always come back to keeping Kreider after I say I had enough. At least the oaf can stand in front of the net and screen the goalie.

Dude hasn't even played a game and you want him out pretty clearly because he's Russian, at least in part.

Yes, yes, yes! What he said. ^^^

I'm pretty sure he had that talk with Gorton on the phone before getting on the plane. But yes, both need to sit down with Knoblauch to get on the same page. To clear the air. Put that awkwardness behind them and move forward.

I'm ecstatic he's back. Shows the Rangers have high hopes for him, like I do.

I brought this up in a thread the other day....perfect match . I could not agree more . With all the money the Rangers have there should be no gaps in any part of the developmental system with regards to newcomers to NA ...especially kids who we are banking on .

Serious question: other than Ovechkin/Malkin who are simply of another standard, what Russian has been outstanding as a teenager?

They seem to have a slower development curve in those leagues.

We should stick to the tough Canadian and American kids, right? Guys like McColgan, Noreau, St Croix, Sanguinetti, Jessiman, Werek, Bourque, Tambellini.
