Confirmed with Link: Kravtsov requests trade

[pld459666]

He didn't make the team, this was not the expectation of the staff.

Roster decisions are made on a game to game basis

Tomorrow they loaded up on beef, Dallas doesn't offer the same level of animus which would allow for an adjustment to the roster.

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.

Krav is that you? If so stop being a f***ing child.

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

This is whacky, even by this franchise's standards.

So we're supposed to put him on the team even if he hasn't played well enough to warrant it because of the fear he'll want out?

Hang onto him if we can't get a 1st (we won't) and call him up soon.

 

[BKGooner]

Ship him to Buffalo for that guy with no neck.

 

[Narcissus]

context for an outsider?


I am confused

Rangers are building an identity - bottom 6 forwards are to be reliable two way players. Laf and Kakko took the two spots in the top 6.

 

[Kravtsov420]

When Gauthier gets traded in the very near future, and this kid actually puts up points, it will get very ugly. Just a shit show, and that’s something you can’t deny.

 

[Machinehead]

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.

I disagree with this notion that we're dressing a goon lineup for #TomWilson

At this point, we're dressing our our 12 best forwards for the Caps.

We would have been willing to play Blais on the 4th line but not Kravtsov. Blais outplayed him significantly and earned a look in the top 9. It's that simple imo.

Kravtsov would have gotten plenty of time if he were patient. He can't act like this.

 

[Eggtimer]

I find Kravstov mostly unimpressive, but neither Friedman or Seravalli said he requested a trade. Someone should change the thread title.

Umm . title says Friedman is reporting this ?
Doesn’t matter . Trade him - hope for a decent return for someone who won’t complain if sent down .
Or keep him and explain how things work.
In the big picture , just wait for the next superstar that will only sign with the Rangers .No big whoop.

 

[pld459666]

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?

This is a shit post as Cuylle will be better than Lias

 

[Chytilmania]

Wasn't it reported he was potentially going to play 1st line, especially if Kreider didn't work out?
Did they not explain to him he was sent down because he was waiver exempt? Or did they tell him he's staying down until he improves? Really doesn't make sense to me.

 

[LOFIN]

Disappointed all around. But if he's the one who is asking for the trade then fine, let him go.

I just don't understand this move, because I thought we literally moved away from Buch in order to make room for Kakko AND Kravtsov in the top-6. Yes, the money would've been tight but still...

 

[NYRKING30]

LOL

 

[Trxjw]

The team basically gifted him a spot and he couldn't seize the opportunity. Not sure what he expects at this point.

 

[NYR Viper]

Off the top of my head:

Montreal has extra picks and could use more offense...

Kostin was sent down to the AHL by St Louis, I wonder if there is a swap there to be made.

Buffalo has a need for more talent and they have a couple of extra pieces.

Ottawa could definitely use another highly talented forward.

Edmonton should be ALL OVER THIS

Minnesota should also be ALL OVER THIS

Detroit was rumored to be very high on Kravtsov. I wonder if there is a deal there to be made

I think Kravtsov was better than Hunt

 

[Deleted member 23124]

Saw this coming as soon as it was announced he was being sent to Hartford.

 

[Machinehead]

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

We would have to add a lot (as we always would have for a piece like Eichel) but I think he still has value.

Somebody will think they can get him to cooperate and maybe they can.

 

[Machinehead]

I think Kravtsov was better than Hunt

We're not putting Kravtsov on the 4th line. He wasn't competing with Hunt or Reaves.

 

[will1066]

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.

Not now, he won't.

 

[Greg02]

This 100% feels like a situation where he will bounce around the league for a few years then end up putting 60 points up on the first line of a bottom feeder in 2025 and everyone here will constantly bring it up.

 

[Kravtsov420]

So we're supposed to put him on the team even if he hasn't played well enough to warrant it because of the fear he'll want out?

Hang onto him if we can't get a 1st (we won't) and call him up soon.

Sorry but there was nothing to suggest that you couldn’t get a first rounder or him being part of a package. The value is now very much so tanked. And as I said to you yesterday, the fact was that he felt slighted whether you agreed or not, and the organization should have taken that into account before turning face and saying no big deal. Sorry but this is a disaster as much as you don’t care.

I understand that, of course. But he didn't make the roster! Vince thinks it was just paperwork or whatever, but he does not know that, it was his feeling. Kravtsov was sent to the A, full stop. It was a play based decision to not make the team (not just opening night roster, the TEAM), wasn't based on waiver shit or whatever.

If the kid played well enough to warrant a call up, then he would have been called up. But we may never know. The next call up will be Barron or McKegg. Actually, I think regardless those two would have been the next two call ups OVER VK anyway. He had a ways to go it seems.

But Hunt is here to play on the 4th line, Kravtsov would be wasted there.
