Vitali Kravstov is back in RUssia and has 7 goals and 16 points in 18 games...looks like a decent prospect, just saying.

One of the players I think mny of us here were hesitant to give up was when Aleksei Saarella was traded for Eric Staal. Granted the Staal rental didn't work out for us, but Saarela is making his way back in the Swiss-A league for the last 3 years after getting a brief shot with the Panthers.
His lack of pace doesn't hold him back there.
If he ever gets another NHL look he'll flame out again. The drive, IQ and motor just aren't there.

Yeah, Kravtsov always looked good in the KHL. And his time here, even if he was a slacker, undoubtedly helped him develop further. Hard for me to see him ever making it in the NHL, though, unless he has some sort of major epiphany. Even then I don't think he's dynamic enough to be a real impact player.
I still wonder if he wanted to play in Canada or the Rangers thinking he has not enough upside to sign and take a chance on. He seems to have Goodrow type upside 3rd 4th liner that good on faceoffs PK and fight when needed.
At the time there was one thought that was floated here.
Drury was holding off offering him a contract to see how other prospects were developing.
Grubbe was put off and had his agent tell the Rangers he would not sign and intended to re-enter the draft.
Not sure if he was one of the prospects that @Amazing Kreiderman was communicating with.
He might be more helpful to answer this question.

That's correct. Grubbe's camp was talking to other teams in anticipation of him re-entering the draft. Grubbe spoke to several organisations and gave the Rangers his preferred options which led to the trade for the 5th round pick we used on Rasmus Larsson this past summer.
The timing was just never right with Grubbe and the Rangers.

Crazy that Gross is only 23 years old. Seems like just last year that he helped found and establish the WJC tournament to how we know it today.

Chmelar with 2 assists tonight. The second assist might get taken away. He harassed the player who turned over the puck leading to the goal, but I don't think he touched the puck at all.

They never took Chmelar's 2nd assist away and with that he's tied his scoring total from last year in 21 less games, 13p in 12gp.

Did the player who turned over the puck file charges?

Does he have Ryan Lindgren upside but not as overly physical but very good defensively?
Perreault set up Smith for a grade A chance that he couldn't bury.

He's playing quality minutes as a freshman and I've yet to see him stand out in a negative way. How that will translate to the NHL, I have no idea.
That was a good job by Gabe on the boards.
Is it too much to ask for both Fortescue and Perreault to score in the same game?

Way too early for me to compare him to Lindgren but Ryan is a pretty unique player in a few ways 1) that much snarl from a defenseman his size 2) his ability to play through all kinds of pain and injury (almost reminds of Girardi) 3) the chemistry he has with Fox which goes back well before turning pro to back to back WJC tournaments. I wouldn't say Fortescue has any of those qualities we know Lindgren has.

That's Lukas Gustafsson. His dad Marcus played for the Univ of Maine in the 90s.
No, they're not related to Erik Gustafsson
Undrafted too. Any potential BC players eligible for the 24 draft?That's Lukas Gustafsson. His dad Marcus played for the Univ of Maine in the 90s.

Primary assist for Gabe on the PP to tie it at 4.
