I'm pretty sure Kravtsov is fine playing in the NHL be it in top-9 or 13th forward with how things are going in Russia.Excellent news. And I think this may be another step to a kakko trade this summer along with what happened yesterday. Kravtsov is coming here for a top 9 role and nothing less. If kakko is here next year I fully expect kravtsov will outplay him and kakko and take a top 6 role while kakko will sulk again for not being given top 6 minutes.
He's not coming here to be a 13th forward, and if that's how we are viewing him coming here than we are already setting this up to fail againI'm pretty sure Kravtsov is fine playing in the NHL be it in top-9 or 13th forward with how things are going in Russia.
It’s Dan Millstein’s agency.Oh and BTW, what the f*** is that #WeAreGoldStar! hash tag???
Is that our lame new offseason tag?
Yeah, that was when he could get paid decently for being a top tier star in the KHL. That will not be the case going forward.He's not coming here to be a 13th forward, and if that's how we are viewing him coming here than we are already setting this up to fail again
He could have just as well refused to sign and facilitated a trade. He signed for shit money here after refusing a contract in the khl for the money he asked them for. He wants to be here. He and Drury obviously talked this out as a last chance scenario here. OR the one year deal makes him tradeable now that other teams know he will actually he in the NHL next year as opposed to wondering if he would sign in NAYeah, that was when he could get paid decently for being a top tier star in the KHL. That will not be the case going forward.
A lot of times he starts the draw lined up on right defense and skates toward the circle like the left handed Ovi spot. Sometimes he goes closer to the net like you described but I think he should stay a little bit further from the net to take one timers. He will have the best shot on the team, and he has the most of a shooters mentalityI haven't watched krasvtov as much as others but in a lot of highlights he appears to be working a bumper position on the pp and offering a high tip option. Wonder if he gets an opportunity to claim that spot with strome hopefully leaving now
