Confirmed with Link: Kravtsov requests trade

[Kravtsov420]

What makes you so sure he will put up a ton of points. Also, he is soft as a pillow in the corners and is one of those players who currently wont take a hit to make a play. Could he become great....maybe....is it undeniable......absolutely not.

I didn’t say it was undeniable, but absolutely more of a chance than Gauthier

 

[Overcast]

Wow, been wrong about them moving on from high profile prospects before but I hope this is not a major mistake. He looked good after he came back from his first tantrum. I think he should have made the team but whatever.

Yea for some reason I have a strong gut feeling that letting him go is going to bite us in the ass. Just praying he wouldn't end up on NYI/NJD because that is an automatic recipe for minimum 2 goals a game against us.

 

[McRanger92]

Igor, Chytil, Lindgren, Jones, Barron all went to Hartford before becoming regular players but apparently Kravtsov is too good for it? Not a good look for the NYR here but this reeks of immaturity.

Drury's first call should be to Doug Wilson

 

[JimmyG89]

I swear, what reason do we have for Hajek to be on the roster over him? Do we need 8D? Not only that, but you've got Reaves with a knee injury already, Strome hurt his wrist. Why in the world did he not make the roster?

Stupid management at this point. Sent down to protect a f***ing plug when we have 3 guys better than him in the minors right now. Don't get the obsession with Hajek. Two years ago, sure, last year, maybe, but this year it is clear as day he is like the 9th best LHD option they have. Hell, Reunanen was better than him.

If we have an injury to a winger in the top 9 right now, who comes up? Pajuniemi? He wasn't ready. They say Barron is a center, he's not a winger. Is he the callup?

Just outright stupidity from the front office.

 

[bigdog16]

I honestly can't really blame him for his bitterness at this point. I'm still wondering why he didn't make the team myself. I think more effort should've been made to facilitate his inclusion.

Chytil had no problem going back to the AHL and lighting it up. Sure Krav probably should have made the team. But theres nothing wrong with some AHL seasoning. His sense of entitlement is pretty embarrassing considering he has accomplished jack shit in the AHL or NHL

I think Kravtsov was better than Hunt

Not only was Hunt better than Krav, Hunt can also plug in up and down the lineup. You can't stick Krav on a 4th line and expect much

[will1066]

I don't think the team ever recovered from getting his nameplate wrong. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

 

[Richard Banger]

Lmao (see I can do it too), you gave up leverage. The cats out of the bag, teams know somethings up with this kid. Idiocy to think your leverage in a trade hasn’t changed when the perception of the asset has changed.

I can guarantee you his value hasn’t changed. The only thing that has changed is that GMs now know Krav isn’t off limits. Step off the ledge haha

 

[EdJovanovski]

As he should have

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The pick should’ve been Farabee from the beginning. He’s exactly the kind of player the team overpaid for a lot this summer and would’ve fit in like a glove with Panarin and Strome IMO.

In hindsight yeah.


Everyone would have lost their shit if they took Farabee during the draft though.

 

[Quinnisinoverhishead]

I don't understand how people defend the demotion.
First off, last year he was our best player in the preseason... and they chose to demote him.
He is currently our second best "right winger". Behind only Kakko.
Are we really going to put all our stock into three preseason games?
He was dominant in the world juniors. Put up unprecedented numbers in the K... And had a stellar last 10 games for us the prior season.
Gauthier, Hajek, Hunt???

Giving all this money to Zibanejad, Kreider and Trouba... we are going to need studs that compliment these players at cap friendly deals.
Kravtsov at $1 million is more valuable than 90% of this team. Drury is a clown.... He said everything he learned was from Gorton and it's been exactly the same.. Pay for past performances and treat the kids like trash.

 

[Guyute]

Good riddance. This type of entitlement doesn't belong in our organization.

Agree to disagree on Hunt/VK

Also, not sure you are getting anything out of hunt in Top 9 role.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Lmao what a baby. Don’t want a guy like that to be around my team.

 

[Blueblood2]

I am guessing they sent him down because he was not good enough in the pre-season (he wasnt), he thought he was entitled to a spot and asked to be traded, and the Rangers basically called his bluff and said ok go find a trade. When his agent cant find a decent return for him he will shut up and go to Hartford.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Wow, he’s done in New York then.

 

[Chaels Arms]

The problem is it's not about OMGZ ALL THIS FOR HAJEK LAWL RAGS. Is this going to be his reaction when Gallant wants to go with a heavier lineup and takes him out for a game? What if he does absolutely nothing for ten straight and Gallant feels he needs some time in the Always Hungry League? From seeing his reaction this was going to happen regardless sooner or later.

Last year there was no preseason.

Two years ago he was terrible in the preseason and all he tried to do was dangle around everyone.

 

[Kravtsov420]

Also the fact that people not caring we missed out on another top 10 pick and not being an alarm is just bad. Regardless of how you feel about the kid personally.

 

[Richard Banger]

Yeah get this f***ing punk out of this franchise. This is a business and you are refusing to do what you agreed to in your contract. What a f***ing child

 

[EdJovanovski]

Last year there was no preseason.

He must’ve meant 2019 where everyone said he was the best player in camp and was more impressive than Kakko

 

[LOFIN]

My guess is Drury is “allowing” them to seek a trade because he has no reason to trade Kravstov unless they get a fair return…so Kravstov’s camp can’t come back in a few weeks and accuse Drury of not trying when all the offers are lowballs.

Obviously. The Rangers have bigger things in mind right now than to deal with an unestablished prospect requesting for a trade. If he wants out, let him do the work and we'll deal with it later on. Need to set our sights for the beginning of the season with both the Rangers and Hartford now.

 

[Thirty One]

That will make it easy to trade him! Good thinking, kid!

 

[bbny]

Sad day, because I like Krav and his game. He has a reason to be upset, but ideally the frustration would be redirected as motivation to show them why it's dumb to not have him on the roster. Immediately wanting to be traded isn't the way. They can't keep him now. He'll be a disaster to work with on future contract talks and I've now lost confidence in his ability to properly handle adversity.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Yeah get this f***ing punk out of this franchise. This is a business and you are refusing to do what you agreed to in your contract. What a f***ing child

The only children here are Dolan & Drury

 

[Vitto79]

So Kessel and Crouse for Kravtsov and Gauthier ?
