Friedman: NYR giving Kravtsov permission to seek trade

[Little Psycho]

Lias Andersson 2.0

LA is very happy with Andersson. Sounds like a Rangers problem instead of player problem.

 

[Gliff]

Done.

Done. Let’s get the big guys on the phone.

 

[Luger]

It will be a second round pick for Kravtsov. Possibly an equivalent prospect, but more likely a second.

 

[mouser]

What even does "permission to seek a trade" mean? are they letting his agent negotiate the terms of the trade? Because I'm sure if the Rangers wanted to trade him they could find suitors fairly quickly.

It means Kravtsov and/or his agent are allowed to contact other teams to inquire about their interest in trading for Kravtsov.

Absent that permission it would be Tampering for any team that talked to Kravtsov or his agent about a potential trade.

 

[bbny]

The one guy on the team they didn’t give an “A” to and he demands a trade.

They sent him to the A instead

Lias Andersson 2.0

Bummer for the Rangers. Andersson has looked pretty good for us, and he’s developed great chemistry with Vilardi.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

And this is why you don't hire Gordie Clark to be your Director of Amateur Scouting

Fixed

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Anaheim should be taking a shot on a player like this, no idea what the rangers would want though

 

[Tachycineta]

The Sabres drafted Poltopov and Kisakov in the 2nd round of 2021 if we want to swap compadres/countrymen.

His agent probably wants to know which teams intend to give him a shot in their top 9.

That is not the point of this website. I come here to discuss hockey in further depth than I’d do with those I know or somewhere like Twitter/reddit, not have some anonymous person behind a computer screen try to be a douchebag to me when I’m upset.

I agree with you in general. But in the specific example, the poster in question didn't just bring up Kravstov a lot, he had an obnoxiously inflated opinion of him that he derailed other conversations with.

He would be crowing from the rooftop if Kravtsov had 5 goals in his first 10 games. When you create that much noise, you draw attention.

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

Your personal draft board is worthless in comparison to Bob McKenzie, Craig Button, etc.'s rankings.

You are not a scout. You are a nobody.

Sorry to burst your little delusional bubble.

I have issues with some of PB's takes, but this seems needlessly cruel.

is Andersson even in the top 12?
He lost and tossed his medal into the crowd
Refused to go to the AHL
Ran to Europe
Maybe guys should earn their nhl status ?

LA will waive him eventually. May be wrong but I won’t be shocked

It means the player in question propably isn't the easiest to deal with so they give teams permission to speak to him before they spend assets to acquire him.

 

[Kalv]

Kravtsov for Steel?

Albeit not sure if this escalation would make Bob want him.

 

[sufferer]

Nooooooooooooo not the bluest of blue chiperinos!!!!!!

That’s supposedly how it works with these trade requests. The agent finds a good fit or a few good fits, and then those teams negotiate to find a deal.

2nd. Maybe a little more.

So he is happy on bad teams where he can crack the NHL roster. But throws fits on good teams where he isn’t good enough to crack the lineup. Got it

I don’t think this is that uncommon, especially with younger players.

 

[Fatass]

Skilled guy, but does he have the mental toughness to play in the NHL?

StRaIgHt Up FoR dEsLaUrIeRs. Duh.

again would want a change of scene guy (preferably at center) in the same age group. Maybe a guy like Groulx makes sense as part of a deal. Maybe a guy like Steel. Joked about Deslauriers but would not be shocked if that was an ask at this stage either.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Imagine Kravtsov walking into Lou’s office and demanding top line minutes + PP1 time and then telling Lou that he refuses to ever play in the AHL.

That would go really well for the young man I’m sure.

It would be the last thing he ever did....

 

[bigdog16]

I don’t think this is that uncommon, especially with younger players.

A young player throwing a fit that he was sent down after mustering 0 goals and 1 assist in 17 games? That is not common with any aged player. Most can realize “hey im not producing, maybe i am in over my head here, it is probably better to be sent down to round out my game”

That’s not what happened here though. Kravtsov should have made the team and the Rangers are taking advantage of the fact that he has options.

There are plenty of young players that seek trades because they aren’t getting minutes, across all sports. Not all of them publicly get suspended by the team of course, but it is certainly not unprecedented
