Friedman: NYR giving Kravtsov permission to seek trade

[Machinehead]

Nothing about that tweet intimates this is Kravstov demanding a trade, as much as the Rangers not seeing him in their future and allowing his camp to facilitate a move.

They granted him permission to speak to other clubs. That implies he asked for it.

If the Rangers just wanted to trade him, they would just trade him. They wouldn't have to grant permission on anything.

With a broken gimped up leg?

I guess not

This is likely one of those unfortunate side effects of a big regime change and mandate from above, change in direction. Change in direction occurs and valuable pieces just get lost in the mix.

That’s great news!!! No wonder Kravatsov is expendable

That’s not what is happening here either.

 

[rotiman187]

Edjovanovksi in shambles right now.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Tom Wilson did this

Can you explain why? This makes no sense.

 

[BelovedIsles]

I thought he played well Saturday.

 

[PensandCaps]

Already seeing the hockey media calling him immature for requesting a trade lol. This sports media sucks so much.

 

[Machinehead]

Wasn’t this guy ranked as the #1 prospect in all of hockey by a couple of sources not too long ago

Just Button I think

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

This is a trade we'll lose. I see Kravtsov becoming a very good 60+ point player on the right team.

With that said - He seems to be full of himself. His ego can't handle demotions.

Should've played him in the top 9. Yeah Gauthier outplayed him but it's the pre-season and Gauthier has no hockey IQ or finishing ability, Kravtsov got it.

Oh well.

Which teams got youngish promising C's that are being buried due to depth?

He's probably moved for some mid 2nd round pick though.

Can you explain why? This makes no sense.

Kravatsov afraid to play against Tom Wilson. He wants out of the division clearly. Training with Reaves didn’t work for young Vitaly

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

edit:

Elvenes Carrier + Coghlan?

I’d want at least a second round pick.

 

[CupInSIX]

I’d want at least a second round pick.

On top of reuniting the meat grinders?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Tom Wilson continues to terrorize this franchise with the domino effect.

Why is that? This post makes zero sense.

 

[inthewings]

I'll never understand why the Rangers felt it necessary to move Buchnevich so soon for scraps. Lafreniere, Kakko, and Kravstov were/are very good prospects, but a decision wasn't necessary until a couple of them actually passed Buch on the depth chart. Trading your second best winger to make room for prospects who may or may not pan out is only really defensible if you're actually getting a valuable return on that winger.

 

[Wierzbowski426]

Odd, I thought he was the next of the perennial all stars/HOF'ers the Rangers were putting together.

Ah well, at least once Kreider learns to use his size and speed he will score 40+ and pick up any slack.

This is likely one of those unfortunate side effects of a big regime change and mandate from above, change in direction. Change in direction occurs and valuable pieces just get lost in the mix.

The new regime cleared out a good player for cap space, and so that Kakko and Kravtsov could get more ice time and opportunities.

Kravtsov had a worse camp than a player from the Mighty Ducks hockey movie who does his One Weird Move and nothing else (Julien Gauthier) and a ham-and-egger bottom six wing (Dryden Hunt)

 

[Nucker101]

Why is that? This post makes zero sense.

I don’t believe this Rangers roster would look the exactly same way it does today if not for that incident. I also think Kravstov would’ve had a better chance of making the team, despite a mediocre pre-season.

 

[SI90]

In all seriousness these kids are way too entitled. Not cracking an opening night roster as a 21 year old is not a big deal at all. To pout and have a tantrum and demand a trade over that is hilarious. Probably a guy you don’t want in your Locker room anyway.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

They granted him permission to speak to other clubs. That implies he asked for it.

If the Rangers just wanted to trade him, they would just trade him. They wouldn't have to grant permission on anything.

That's not at all what that implies. That's a gigantic leap in logic you just made.

But I also don't care enough to argue about it further.

 

[FlameChampion]

Between the Andersson pick and the Kratsov pick, these picks didnt really go too well for the Rangers. Both were reaches at the time.

 

[Leonardo87]

Lias Andersson 2.0

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Oof madone

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I'd offer OTT 2nd + Lodin/Tychonick/Novak/Loheit/Engstrand/6th or TB 2nd + any of those guys or a 5th. Would probably go a bit higher if that's what it took, but giving up any other prospect on top of a 2nd would start to sting a bit. None of the above other than Lodin are signed currently, and they may well all go unsigned.. Engstrand is probably the most likely to get an NHL deal but I'd put it as unlikely. Lodin is on loan in Sweden.

Lias Andersson 2.0

I'd take Lias Andersson on my team any day.
