i doubt Kravtsov goes back to the Rangers now,, what they did to him surrounding his sister's wedding is disgusting by management

I think he missed his sister's wedding last year because he had to fly back earlier to NY or something like that. I don't rember the full details.

He was attending the KHL game with Traktor´s GM/Sport Director in Chelyabinsk today. The coach did not want to confirm anything after the game.

It was literally his choice to attend, it’s not like they should’ve given him a spot just because he ditched his sisters wedding.
Also you’re gonna hate your employer when you realize that you don’t just get free days because you got a wedding to attend, even in 9 to 5 job.

that's a weird way to spin it
He wasn't being played.. he asked if he could go to the wedding considering he wasn't being played...
The team let him believe that he was going to get played now so he stayed..they didnt play him
No point in lying to your asset,, now hes on his way out a la Lias Andersson,, wasted top 10 picks

Literally nothing happened like you’re saying.
1. He left Russia 2 days prior to the wedding, he didn’t ask to go back the next day of arriving, and was attending the camp the day of wedding.
He was quoted saying ”“I am ready. I really missed hockey.” In Russian interview a day before flying to NY.
”I think with Kravtsov, he’s going to come to our camp and we’ll see how it goes. We’re going to need some depth and skill as we march along here.” -Jonathan Davidson
How is that a promise that he will be in the roster?
Do you literally have any idea what you’re talking about?

Good luck with returning a top 6 player of talent for a disgruntled player who has shown nothing at the NHL level.
Pouting and “me first” attitudes have never been well received in the hockey world.

I wanted to "luck" your post.
Agree 100% and not sure there is a deal to be made here, Kratsov seems like a KHL player now.

That was last year, right? If that was the case still I think there would have been a bigger issue during camp/preseason.

What kind of 9-5 job wouldn't give you time off to attend your sister's wedding?

NHL radio had a good piece on him and rumors/ speculation is how you've got a kid who's never faced any kind of adversity in his playing career, comes from a wealthy family, and didn't put in the work ethic during offseason training that NYR wanted. Between muscle gain and conditioning (especially after the injury), Kravtsov just doesn't put the work in. NYR told him to work on conditioning and he'd be called up.
If he really left for Russia in the middle of the season instead if reporting to Hartford, I think we can safely say he's done with the NYR, and probably the NHL in the short term.
No real value whatsoever right now.

So he's nowhere near a top six talent and the Rangers want a top six talent in return. Makes sense.

Would love to get Podz in Vancouver another Russian on the team…
not sure the Canucks have the pieces to get it done though.

Hes a potential top 6 talent and the starting ask is a potential top 6 talent. Makes a lot of sense actually.
He did go back to Russia. Undoubtedly a move by him to stick it to NYR. His camp probably knows that by doing so his value for NYR in a trade will tank and that they'll eventually either trade him for nothing or terminate his contract. At which point some dumbass GM like Dubas or whoever is drowning in the cap can sign him to a league minimum prove me deal where he'll inevitably score 25 goals/50 points and then go get paid somewhere else.
