This kid obviously needs to grow up. I’m fairly pro player but this isn’t his first outburst. He clearly has no time for any path that isn’t the one he wants.

he also needs to read the room and realize it’s not a rebuild anymore. They’re going to try to win. And that means he may need to play a role he may not love. It’s part of the process.
 
LOL! Management is horrible at asset management. Who didn't see this coming?
We got nothing for Andersson and nothing for Kravtsov...
Who's next?

Is management supposed to be bullied because a player can't accept that he didn't make the team?

I just don't understand why the request needs to be accepted. Certainly doesn't seem like NYR want to bury the player, he will be called up rather quickly.
 
Seems so odd. He now knows a lot of the players on Hartford, which with him would have a pretty good team and chances were he wasn't going to be down for very long. Just seems so, premature, I guess.
 
Not sure what the issues are.

Not sure if he feels entitled to a spot, or if the team insinuated he had a spot to lose, as I do recall Gallant kind of doing that.

With what is expected to go on tomorrow night, I'd expect that he would dress at home for Dallas.

If the move to keep Hajek was the tipping point, then shame on both player and Org as its a paper move, but Hajek isn't or hasn't shown to be worth the effort.

Kravtsov's agent has to do a better job explaining why certain decisions are made as its not a reflection on the player, just the situation.

Drury better not f*** this up.

There are teams out there that could use a winger like Vitali.
 
Seems fine, overall.

It's in the Rangers' best interests to give him more time/opportunity, but it's also in their best interests to facilitate a trade/maximize the trade value if the player wants out for any reason.

Just incredibly awful asset management. But let’s not panic yet as some said!

another top 10 pick down the drain.
I curse this franchise, there’s a reason why we’ve won one cup since world war 2. Just an absolute joke. I said that you had to be very careful with what you did with this kid. Regardless, now we have no leverage of getting an equal return. Just complete idiocy. But no big deal.
 
I find Kravstov mostly unimpressive, but neither Friedman or Seravalli said he requested a trade. Someone should change the thread title.

He didn't play well enough to make the team. He wasn't better than Gauthier if you want to compare prospects even if Gauthier is a bit older. He didn't produce in the NHL last year. He didn't produce in the AHL a few years ago. What does he expect? Go to the AHL, show you can score there, and he'll be the first call up as needed. This is the second time now he's run at the first sign of adversity.
 
This is why rebuilding is about accumulating as many assets as possible.

We thankfully turned the disappointing malcontent Anderson into Cullye who looks like he will be a player.

I get Kravtsov being disappointed and frustrated but this the is the second time not making the team as a young player is causing him to have a bad off the ice reaction. I'm not thrilled at all with this kid's character in what we've learned about him thus far, seems like an entitled baby in the same vein as Anderson. Could go down to Hartford and play for a week or two and then be back with the Rangers. Chytil did it, Kreider did it and many players in between have done it with no complaints. If Kravtsov is too good for that, get him out of here.

In a previous era something like this would be devastating but considering we have Kakko and Lafreniere it softens the blow. Kakko, Lafreniere and Panarin all locked in to top 6 winger slots. From a roster building perspective, turning Kravtsov into a center prospect actually makes sense so hopefully we can do that.
 
We just wanted to start him in the AHL for seasoning and he's refusing to do that.
yikes.

that isn't a great attitude IMHO. Gotta work to show you are ready for the show.

I wonder if you guys can parlay him into Eichel? been rumors around him and yall for a while now. Buffalo is desperate at this point
