Confirmed with Link: Kravtsov to Vancouver

[EdJovanovski]

 

[SA16]

Line Combos site said he would be with Aatu Raty and Podkilzin, but Dan Murphy is saying Boeser and Demko.

Daily Faceofs makes things up and is not even moderately reputable with regards to line combos unless a source is posted.

raty, podkolzin and krav? the bust line

ngl that interview was a chore to get through.

"What is the best part of your game?" Krav straight up laughs and says "I don't know".

Still wish him well and good luck tho.

Lias VS Vitali

@Draft day 2017
Big day for the Rangers who basically traded every pick in the first round in years prior. To have the 7th OA was like Christmas in June. As the picks left the board, Vilardi and Suzuki and Middlestadt were still up there. All three players were highly discussed on the trade thread board. Holy shit the Rangers are going to get one them... Bam! Lias Andersson. Wait, what? No way. WTF are they doing? Remote control throwing shit! There were Mock drafts with the Rangers selecting Andersson with the 21st. On average he was probably in the 15-20 range. But in the year you finally have a 1st round pick, and its in the top 10...Holy shit, what do you go off the board?

@Draft day 2018
I think Lias was more of a reach then Vitali was. The Kravtsov secret wasn't well hid. McKenzie and others posted about the Russian prospect the Rangers were scouting all year. His stock rose. He also had a draft class with some real solid Dmen coming but maybe lacked high end forwards. Kravtsov really only had to beat out Wahlstrom and Farabee. Truthfully I would have picked Dobson, or Bouchard over him at the time, but i get the appeal of drafting high end talent. Thats what they shot for.



Fast forward to the now.

Vitali gone. Nothing to show but a 48 Game stint an an AHL grinder who may at some point see sometime with the big club.
Andersson gone and Will Cuylle i believe marinating in the system.

I was thinking two things yesterday.
1) Is 31yr old Terasenko a better RW in the top 6 then 23Yr old Vitali Kravtsov? Forget about the 1st rounder that was used to obtain him? Maybe Quentin Musty, Ethan Gauthier, or Lukas Dragicevic? How much better is Tarasenko now?

2) Is Lias Andersson better then Jake Lechyshyn as a 4th line C?

1) I was not a fan of trading for Tarasenko, but yes. He's still WAY better than Kravtsov is currently.

2) Lias isn't better than anyone at anything.

Fil makes Lias at #7 not hurt as much. K'Andre makes Vitaly not hurt so much either. But gad damn, to have Suzuki and Farabee instead of those lumps? Or even Middelstadt and Wahlstrom, like most of us were thinking?

 

[TominNC]

Good. Let’s talk about the future. It’s a Rangers board, no need to talk about a player on another team. He’s gone. Move on

This is all spot on. To me Lias had great a defensive hockey IQ, that was all of it though.

 

[Mandar]

Yep 2nd line with Boeser & Studnicka

hey look....they actually found an x-small size with a no-muscle fit.

Hopefully he doesnt get a bellyache before the game

The Nucks are marketing the kid hard. Being marketed like a high profile acquisition.

But what are your thoughts about Buch? Lol

Nils vs Vitali tonite.

If the puck goes into the corner, nobody should get hurt.

"what do you think you need to improve on most?"

"being in the gym all day probably"

Conditioning was def an issue from the Rangers POV

Wow, that was not a very good interview.

Basically every question was "I don't know"

 

[nyr2k2]

Goes back to the heart rate thing that everyone mocked the team for, at the time.

Brutal interview. Somehow, like his game, his English got worse too.

1 year from today, Ed's going to need 3 plane rides, 2 trains, a rickshaw and a submarine to watch his boy play.

Let me look in my file. Should be right here with Middleton

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Hard watch.
He was never good with the media but I can't recall a more cringey interview in recent times. I remember the first interview this year from him, in training camp, he was asked what happened last year and he literally said "i left my scarf back home" and smiled. LOL, what??

Again, it's not his fault, his life experiences and people in his circle have brought him here, told him to run back to KHL, and show u[ this year in worse shape than last year. Genetically he is probably just super skinny and has a super hard time gaining weight.

Hopefully the Ruskis in Vancouver are the right influence on him and he turns into a beast.
I remember in October 2019 preseason, I went to Rangers vs Isles and watched him and Kaapo the whole night with my friend, we thought Kravtsov was going to have a better year than Kaapo here.

Good luck Vitali
