[Section 104]

A better career that Vitali Kravtsov

Scott Foster accomplished that one pretty easily

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

An entry-level contract for an entry-level caliber player.

Go Rangers!

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

This guy is pretty much a bust, I remember the hype around him when he was drafted

 

[Isles Junkie]

Amazing wrist shot. No other NHL caliber skill. He'll be in Europe within 3 years.

 

[AirGut]

A better career that Vitali Kravtsov

Vitali is probably the laziest player I have ever seen

 

[boredmale]

Probably about 200k to much. Supposidly he was injured a good part last season, hopefully Roy can figure him out somehow

 

[Mr Kot]

last hurrah for him im assuming?

 

[boredmale]

Amazing wrist shot. No other NHL caliber skill.

His slapper is pretty good as well, sadly in both cases his reaction time isn't the best

 

[BonMorrison]

Shocked he got more than minimum ngl.

 

[Breakers]

Once this guy pouted in the NCAA as a freshman and threatened to go back the USHL I knew it was over as being an impact player.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

People fall in love too much with an elite shot . “It can’t be taught!” They say.

Wahlstrom, Holtz, Zadina, their pro-caliber shots carried them to junior domination and high draft choices.

Takes more than that to be a scorer in the NHL

I would also add Timo Meier to that list for future reference. We drafted him when Rantanen, Barzal, Chabot, Connor were still on the board because our scouting staff thought we needed a shooter to pair with Jumbo during the time when Setoguchi left. Our staff was so enamored by his "NHL-ready shot" that was on display in the QMJHL. What a load of crock that turned out to be. His shot sucks in the NHL and I only consider it a wicked shot when it is off the rush.

 

[RangersFan1994]

A better career that Vitali Kravtsov

I want Farabee during that draft. Of course the Rangers pick a bust like in 2017 and 2010 and 2003 all in the 1st round of deep drafts for the most part

 

[biturbo19]

Nice. The Hoglander sort of, "do something" deal. Maybe he'll come back and score 20G next year. Or maybe not.

1 year should bridge nicely to Eiserman anyway.

 

[IslesNorway]

Last chance saloon for him.

yeah, real one trick pony Timo Meier is...

 

[NyQuil]

He's been in more trade proposals than Michael Ryder.

Alright you drive a hard bargain. Pinto for Varlamov+Wahlstrom+2nd

I really don't think this is true. He has some very good puck skills beyond shooting. He's a good stickhandler, and a good passer. The problem is he's not nimble or explosive enough to play a finesse or speed game, and when he tries to use his strength or physicality, he gets himself hurt. He doesn't anticipate or brace for contact, and he doesn't seem to know how to seek body position, take good angles, or deliver checks.

I will say, the NYI obsession with Shane Pinto is getting borderline creepy.

I get that he's from there.

I think the only confirmed player I can remember having who was an Islanders fan as a kid is Ryan Pulock, and he's from the great Canadian prairie, not Long Island. So kinda ranom. If NYI had any shot at Hagens, Pinto would be long forgotten.

All your LI born players will belong to us. Next up after Pinto, James Hagens

Not all. McAvoy and Fox are known to have worshipped the enemy.
