@Amazing Kreiderman do you have the games played by position for Kravtsov that you posted for Kakko recently?

Is he strictly a RW or does he have the versatility that Kakko has?

I was surprised that Kakko played as many games at LW compared to RW+C.

He had more points at LW this season so versatility - he is a wonderkid! :)

And since Igor signed we can move Alexander Georgiev and both Buffalo & Oilers need to upgrade their goalies for a playoffs push next season - which means we can get another top #10 center in 2019 draft, Gorton should be busy before that draft day this summer!

It's true. I think they are the second-tallest country in the world. Everyone seems to be at least 6 feet tall, but my boss was about 5'5" and I worked with a guy that was maybe 5' 3" or 4 at best. AK is officially the third-shortest Dutchman.

I'm also disappointed that he doesn't skate. They have some great skaters there. Come on Steven, you're supposed to skate the canals in the winter.

There have been rumors about who my biological father is :laugh:

the escape clause confirms my position the entire time. its there for a reason.

young russians want no part of hartford. none.

rather than be sent there, hell go back to russian and continue to develop until a spot opens up for him on the roster. georgiev complicates things. is this right or wrong ? doesn't matter. thats the reality.

he doesnt want to "earn" anything in hartford. the K is a better league. period.

hartford being such a tire fire works against this organization. theres no development there- look at LA, its where you go when you arent good enough not so much where you go to get better. its like being sent to siberia for young russians.

shesty wants no part of that.

In a recent interview Shesty said he has absolutely no problem starting in Hartford if that's what happens.

well see. the out clause is a concern

its pretty standard today but still allows him to run

fixing hartford is obvious. prospects done want to go there.

problem is were getting some talent now so we need to make the changes that are happening now to give these kids a reason to go there and work hard.
 
Don't think Shesty will run home after 2-3 months in AHL. If he does spend entire year in the A whilst playing well then I can see him bolting.

I think Georgie's days in New York are numbered.
 
I think the big thing is guys like Shesty probably don’t want to be left in the AHL all season. They will go down if it’s obvious they need some work or adjusting but being down all year just to work around waivers isn’t something a KHL player would want to do

Is Georgiev waiver exempt all year or just X number of games?

I think they’ll definitely wait and see how Shesty looks before thinking of moving Georgiev but maybe I’m wrong. They’ve shown some confidence in his development so I don’t think they’ll get rid of him for a late round pick yet. I could see Lundqvist moved but still seems ultimately unlikely

The thing with Hank is that he has to approve any trade.

Pretty sure he’s exempt so if they want to do what they did this year they can

This is going to be interesting to watch. I can’t imagine he has tons of value in a trade at this point, but it’d be pretty crazy if it was him, and not Kreider, that ended up netting the team an extra premium pick in the draft this year.

Some folks would rather pay Panarin than Kreider. How about paying Panarin with Henrik’s money?
