This is terrifying, I think he would turn into a monster playing next to Malkin

Because 2 days ago Poulin wouldn’t get you close to Kravtsov

Kravtsov wants out. Rangers seem willing to move him. Doesn't sound like the Rangers are in a position of bargaining power (like with Lias Andersson).

Neat. Kravtsov is refusing to report to your AHL team and wants out. If he is moved now it’ll likely be for a downgraded return.

You’re not going to get the return you would have 2 days ago. He’s been given permission to seek a trade and isn’t reporting to your AHL team, that lowers his value

I'm not opposed to sweetening the deal slightly but it sure ain't gonna be a 2nd.
I'm beyond confident that Kravtsov will not be returning a recent 1st rounder and a 2nd.
This would easliy be another failed malkin experiment. Pitt would be silly to trade their top forward prospect at this point.
completely wrong
Rangers consider to move now if enuf on the table not otherwise,
Don't need bargaining power
Can force the guy to the A
suspend if he doesn't show
the issue here is he wants to be w/the big club, which in fact he deserves
and is fully justified to be pissed
he is getting short shrift due to temporary situation w/Hajek and waivers
hajek will be gone in a coupla wks, and Krav will be back w/NY

Kravtsov is such a weird dude I wouldn't be surprised if in a couple weeks he changes his stance and wants to stay in NY. I think he just pulled something real reactionary and maybe he'll regret it. But what do I know, I remember thinking how Kravtsov would never be back when he fled to Russia a couple years ago. Then it seemed like things finally washed over and we could move on with him but nope, another bump in the road

If it was as simple as you make it sound, the Rangers wouldn't have told him he can see if teams are interested. If it's temporary and only until the Hajek situation is worked out, they would have informed him of that and they wouldn't be allowing him to talk to other teams.
He can also decide to bring his stuff back to the KHL.
Not a single GM will take on Hajek whitout sending another body for hi. Team wo'nt send a pick for an AHL calibre player

I don't think it's worth the risk from Pittsburgh's perspective. The prospect pool isn't deep enough to be sending away a recent first round pick for another organization's disgruntled player when neither has really proven anything at the NHL level. Odds are Kravtsov wouldn't make the lineup on a healthy Pens team either.

Anyway, I think this is a fairly reasonable deal for both sides. Poulin complements the Rangers prospect pool well, he's a guy who projects as a complementary C/W that can complement the top end skill that the Rangers have in their prospect pool. On the flip side, the Penguins have very little top end skill in their prospect pool but have a ton of prospects who project as complementary forwards..
The Penguins get more risk but a higher upside, while the Rangers get a lower upside but safer prospect. The issue is that Kravtsov won't make the Penguins either, so I don't see how him coming here really solves anything.

That's like saying you want to buy Amazon stock at 2010 prices. Markets change, especially when a player asks to be moved after not making the pro-roster.

Id really like to see what we have in Poulin before moving him.
And I dont think the NYR are going to accept anything other than an overpay from a division rival. I know if it was a Pens "disgruntled prospect" I would demand a high return to ship them within the Metro too.
That's true of Poulin and Nathan Legare too, which is one reason I want to keep both around until they make or break the roster. I feel like having the two friends pushing and encouraging each other is a great thing.
