Confirmed with Link: Kravtsov requests trade

[MysticLeviathan]

Kravtsov is talented, but he has to accept that life does not always roll out the red carpet for him. So management are shuffling players around to create a team, and he gets (temporarily) squeezed out - big flippin deal. Deal with it and create your own space on the roster DON'T throw a temper tantrum and put in a trade request at the first little bump in the road.

except this isn’t the first bump in the road. I don’t blame him for wanting a trade. I blame him for not reporting, but he deserves a spot on a NHL roster.

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

All this whining and complaining from posters here is pathetic. It's Hajek's fault, it's Blais' fault, it's Galant's fault, it's Kreider's fault, it's Gauthier's fault, it's Drury's fault.

Wrong. It's 100% Kravtsov's fault. All the spoiled little twat had to do was suck it up and go down to Hartford for a few weeks. Little prince couldn't even do that. At least he still has mommy and daddy's oil money to fall back on.

What a sore little brat! Trade value is close to zero because no one wants to mess with team chemistry in week 1.
The only teams that may show interest will be bottom dwellers like Ottawa and Anaheim. I doubt Stevie Y even makes a call to kick a tire.

I think this kid is toast and KHLer for life.

Why does he deserve it? He has never set the world on fire in the NHL (4pts in 20 games) nor the AHL. He did not earn the spot on camp. So why does he deserve it?

 

[Rempe73]

Fuuuuuck this

 

[NYSPORTS]

Many say krav is immature and laf and kak arent
Laf and kak were never demoted eventho they should have
They were both awful their rookie years but were handed a spot
So they never were delt the adversity krav was.
If u can hand them both a spot despite how bad they r u should do the same with krav especially since krav is so much better than laf and kak were their rookie years

Brett Howden remained secure all last season.

 

[I Eat Crow]

hello interesting. somewhat.'

just jumping in here. from toiletroom in fact. been a pushing and dropping heavy things and then just randomly seeing this news in toiletchair. as there many thoughts came out so here it goes.

not so surprising this. there seem many guys trying makin spots at top lines of prioritated offensive lines of this team. so much frustrations and fightings of not often at this levels even at NHL seen i think. some must go it seem. or some ..hey wait..listen...they even at kakko maybe trying makin him a defensivespecialist. think about this. too many man at this system for offensive missions. but hey. kakko must not be at that place. he offensive number 1 here or something wrong. at him question is is he blobbed beyond all recognizing or only musselated? this is somewhat worrying at this point. what for future ?

anyways...i can imagining after summer boys meeted at N : Y again and some guys having hard tensions, hard thoughts. other relaxed knowing they from team headquarters and coaches a trusted and wanted. imagine kravtsov coming in and seein heavily musselated? kakko after summer for examples. and then zibanjenad makin papers for 8 years of superdollars. so what have a kravtsov from not northern american territory a thinking?

another thing listen. they want him at AHL to playing. think like this. there a new world. there can be quit hard rough atmosphere and problemated mates and players. lots of other things there than hockey a going . beer drinking in heavy stylee after and before game, pusching and fisting whit teammates on streets for sure or in small apartment for himself to get locked with candy and VideoGames for selfpleasure comforts. all this and no teamdoctors from anywhere to look after you. everyboty knowing this caos can bring and sent to farmleague itself...can make you suffer and want not to play hockey at good level. many there a example of players who not putting up any points at there and then slowly atletics of player like disseappearing and then after one two years player a forgotten. a never been, never did he make it. and then back to like KHL and hurt.

if kravtsov here a trusted and like wanted to put at top line sure he like others makin points and getting millions and millions but at this point there in this team for player like kravtsov can get really bad living at farmleague quarters and going up forward. i can understand him wanting to get elsewhere to build up own careers. they here seem to put it on other players. and it can be for verly long time and kravtsov can get downwards spiral and never going up from here.

im sure he having this bad feeling already before season. season coming . they put up big contracts on zibanjenad and kakko musselated, small first pick whats his name again? smiling and having candy from team headquarters and so forths....

and then he exploding finally? surprising? no. they could have him a place here a given but will there be icetimes for everyboty? i say kakko if mussel and fast. then he 1st line. built from there. also is there a money for everyboty?

and kakko. maybe they trying to make you defensive player here? not taking that bait please. remember only player with many points to scoreboards jumbotrone will make it really big money. and only player with many points also selling dresses of masses with familyname at back

sir avgard hockeyprofessor

I agree with all of this.

 

[nsvoyageurs]

I like Kakko & Lafreniere. I just think the idea that Kravtsov has played poorly since being drafted and that they have been lights out; is absurd.

I tend to agree with you on this. He has had moments, and he hasn't been awful/never shown he can't be an NHL-level player, but putting him on the 4th line/healthy scratch won't do him any favours for his development. It's why he should've gone down to Hartford and played a top 6 role, then, after hopefully producing there, be brought back up. I hope he's not being squeezed out because the team wants more grit/moar jam. I hope something gets worked out where he comes to his senses (I don't know what he was told before, during or after camp in regards to his role; it didn't help when he was hurt) and is kept in the organization, though that may be unlikely.

 

[Sockosensei]

Let's assume that he should have had a spot on the team.

Doesn't really matter. With an entitled personality there was always going to be a blow up or a sulkfest in the future. Maybe it'd be about linemates, maybe about not enough ice time.

I only wish he would've reported, quietly requested a trade, and allowed us to find him a new home.

 

[AKA Chief]

So much for needing to move Buch to make room for Kakko and Kravtsov.

Drury is so lucky that he has Panarin, Zibs, Laf, Kakko, Fox and Igor, which guarantees that he can't totally f-up this team.

 

[KingDeathMetal]

I thought we should have started the season with Kravtsov on the third line with Chytil and Goodrow. I think Kravtsov looks like he's going to be a good player.

With that said, we have much better lineup depth this year, spots are competitive, there were other young players battling for the same spot as Kravtsov who clearly had better camps (Gauthier, Barron), and there are legitimate cap reasons to have sent Kravtsov down instead of players who needed to clear waivers.

So while I definitely agree with Kravtsov being frustrated, I also think it's clear that he didn't handle this situation the right way. And for all the fans yelling about "poor asset management!" I'm sorry, we've had how many young players come through our system over the past four years, and how many behaved this way? Lias and Kravtsov? Yeah, the problem is with them for acting entitled instead of being a f**** professional. Kakko never got sent down, but he had his trials with Quinn, getting publicly criticized and getting crap minutes. He responded by completely overhauling his defensive game, and getting into awesome shape and having one of the best camps of all our players this year. Hajek, who sucks, has been up and down and never complained. Morgan Barron has a case for being on the roster right now, he got sent down and didn't refuse to report to Hartford FOR THE SECOND TIME. Jones is absolutely an NHL d-man, he isn't complaining about Hartford. Judging by Kravy's behavior, you'd think he wasn't a top prospect who spent the last three years marginally improving.

Better players - much better players - than Kravtsov, are going through the same thing while maintaining their professionalism. The only thing I blame NYR for is drafting two kids who turned out to be complete a***holes in Lias and Kravtsov.

 

[AKA Chief]

Brett Howden remained secure all last season.

Not to mention Kravtsov has proven he can play in the KHL and make millions there. To not factor that into the handling of a player is stupid.

 

[Blais to Win]

All this whining and complaining from posters here is pathetic. It's Hajek's fault, it's Blais' fault, it's Galant's fault, it's Kreider's fault, it's Gauthier's fault, it's Drury's fault.

Wrong. It's 100% Kravtsov's fault. All the spoiled little twat had to do was suck it up and go down to Hartford for a few weeks. Little prince couldn't even do that. At least he still has mommy and daddy's oil money to fall back on.

Totally.

You're in pain because of this? It's Kravtsov's fault.

 

[Unusual Suspect]

I realize that even posting about this refutes the following statement slightly, but I almost totally don't give a s***. The "almost" is only because I am sore as hell about the inability of the Euro scouts (and everyone else in the interviewing process) to uncover and recognize massive character defects in two recent first round picks. Any degree to which this summer's housecleaning has NOT addressed that problem needs to be rectified without further delay.

On the other hand: the roster as set for this evening represents the BEST 23 players the Rangers can ice in order to win hockey games right now... Tinordi in for Lundqvist being the one possible exception. Based on what we and the coaching staff have been objectively seeing, we are a better team TODAY with Blais getting a shot on the 3rd line than we would have been with Kravtsov... and certainly there was no place for him on the 1st, 2nd or 4th lines. He never showed enough to warrant moving Kreider down so he could play on the first line. So he needed to go down, play his butt off, and wait for injury or for Blais to demonstrate he's in over his head at 3LW.

He didn't do that. Twice now. So I don't want the little puke in the locker room undermining everything the staff is trying to build in terms of team attitude and cohesion. F*** him and goodbye. Next!

 

[effen]

There's only so much interviews tell you in the best case, let alone interviews where people flat lie thru their teeth.

Sometimes you get an emotional lemon, the Rangers got 2 in a short period. If something can happen once in isolation it can happen a second time. It doesn't make the Rangers as an org bad at scouting or terrible at personality recognition or whatever the f*** anger bear shit is going on here.

 

[Ori]

Why does he deserve it? He has never set the world on fire in the NHL (4pts in 20 games) nor the AHL. He did not earn the spot on camp. So why does he deserve it?

I admit not seen him play for a while. What kind of issue is the main reason for the 21 years old can not play NHL at his age, and he is a top 10 talented draft pick what went wrong recently like this pre season?

I`ve been busy with Norway U21 national team and soccer for almost a year, but I remember we drafted Kravtsov.

 

[Crease]

Anything new this morning?

 

[RGY]

The Gauthier penalty was a makeup call for the missed tackle on Kravtsov moments earlier

Refusal to accept reality.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Refusal to accept reality.

Nope go back and read the GDT or watch the game tape. Sam and Joe even said it

He just has to earn his spot like everyone else. The Rangers want nothing more than for him to produce. They want him on the team but at the end of the day it is based on his play. I hope he breaks out. He is still a young guy. The way to prove the team wrong is to go down to the AHL and be that teams leading scorer. Then you will be the first call up during the season.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Brett Howden remained secure all last season.

But did Howden complain about 4th line time? Did he EXPECT to be on the 2nd line? Howden was just happy to be in the lineup, and we can all shit on how bad he was, he really was an AHL+ player...at least he kept his mouth shut and kept putting in the work.

If Kravy went and killed it in Hartford for 2 weeks and didn't get called up...ok ask for a trade. To not report for the second time because you feel you are above the AHL and expect to be GIVEN a certain role regardless of performance...yah sorry buddy your attitude is shit.

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

I get you're a big fan of the kid. But would it really have been the worst thing in the world if he spent a few weeks in Hartford? Do you honestly believe his reaction to the demotion was warranted?

 

[RGY]

Nope go back and read the GDT or watch the game tape. Sam and Joe even said it

Go back and read the GDT? Because that is not a navigational nightmare of emotional opinions…that includes myself at times.

Sam and Joe? Yeah Sam cannot even tell who is on the ice, God Bless his Soul. And Joe is the typical soft serve vanilla that raves about everyone and everything.

Please. This is not good for your health.

I believe both were penalties.
