Confirmed with Link: Kravtsov requests trade

[Trxjw]

So the team spent a top-10 pick on him. Traded one of their best and most beloved players in large part to free up a spot for him. Handed him a spot in the lineup on a silver platter.

He biffs it and then throws a tantrum that shoots himself in the foot. Too funny.

I'd refuse to grant permission to play in any other league.

While I understand his anger, I 1000% disagree with approach.

He can still demand a trade, play his ass off and help facilitate the move sooner.

What would the ask from Edmonton be?

Edit: thought I was in the trade proposal forum, sorry.

f*** Drury. This is so preventable.

Buch trade looking better every day

Blais was one of the standouts in camp. We couldn't have signed Mika to his extension if we signed Buch to his deal, not with all the upcoming RFAs (Fox, Kakko, Laf) looming.

Kravtsov was penciled in to the lineup, it was his spot to lose and he did just that. Blais handily outplayed him, Gauthier at the very least matched him and VK is waiver exempt and Gallant was never going to keep him for the 4th line. We're not rebuilding anymore so it's not totally reasonable for Kravtosv to expect his spot waiting for him in cement and be so opposed to temporary AHL time. He's 21 and has 20 NHL games to his name. Go play in Hartford for a couple weeks and look really good and then you're back with no looking back. Chytil did it with no sulking whatsoever. Kravtsov is sulking and clearly thinks he's too good for the AHL (despite never really putting up good numbers there) for the second time is throwing a fit. Who wants this around?

This kid is a 'take my ball and go home' at the first sign of adversity type. Not good, not good at all. I'm shocked the amount of people mad at Drury and the Rangers. This is on Kravtsov IMO. You're disappointed you didn't make the team? Great, go to AHL and blow the doors off and show them how wrong they were. What kind of attitude is this?

 

[itsPLkielbasa]

Kravtsov is an immature brat. Accept the assignment to Hartford. Put up points and you'll get called up.

I hope we just don't give him away. Try to get some value back.

 

[NYR Viper]

I wonder if the team was concerned with him attending development camp because of his attitude. It seemed odd that he wasn't there

 

[Richard Banger]

As he should have

No he shouldn’t of. He’s being a child overreacting and now he f***ed up because he’s messing with the business side of it. He’ll never wear a blue shirt again. And this shit really pisses off the vets who had to pay their dues to get where they are

 

[haohmaru]

Kravtsov sees the writing on the wall that there are better players ahead of him on the roster for the foreseeable future and he’s not a 4th line player. Not the route he should’ve taken but I understand it.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

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.

Insulting the Rangers drafting pedigree is off limits on here.

 

[mrmovies779]

Krav has nobody to blame but himself-for his play and now his actions.The kid really needs to grow up

 

[Edge]

Here we go again.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

f***ing idiots, it was obvious this would happen.

They led him to believe he’d make the team and you send him down to hang onto Libor f***ing Hajek

you think they’d learn after Lias and when Kravstov bolted last time. Two top 10 picks down the drain

 

[duhmetreE]

Makes me respect Chytil A WHOLE LOT more.

2 different mindsets.

 

[Richard Banger]

The only children here are Dolan & Drury

how because the coach didn’t give him a spot? That’s not how it works. This is a competitive sport suck it the f*** up.

? Lavoie + J.Chiasson ?

 

[Lays]

At this point, trade him. This is two instances where he bitched over being sent down

 

[EdJovanovski]

He is objectively better than several players who made it over him lol, I get people disagree with his attitude but I don’t think very many fans truly would’ve sent him down in favor of the guys we kept.

 

[duhmetreE]

a based of Kravtsov for Holloway?

 

[LOFIN]

f*** Drury. This is so preventable.

f***ing idiots, it was obvious this would happen.

I'm not saying this was greatly handled by the Rangers and Drury, but if the immediate reaction from Kravtsov is a "f*** you, I'm not going to report, trade me" then obviously he can take a hard look at the mirror as well.

 

[New York RKY]

Honestly this just makes me appreciate Laf and Kakko that much more. They take adversity and punch it in the face by busting their ass putting in work.

 

[brians1128]

just make @Steve Kournianos head of scouting. I remember that draft, he was talking up Joel Farabee.

 

[Kords]

They have been giving this kid mixed signals for years, he has a right to be pissed. For Libor Hajek ffs, absolutely unreal.

Considering his assignments he's looked good for a kid whose played in the league as little as he has. I Haven't seen enough with decent linemates to make a good assessment so i'm not sure how others can?

This is so dumb.

 

[LamoTheKid]

If Gallant thinks Gautier outplayed Kravs then I'm at a loss for words.
