Player Discussion Vitali Kravtsov - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After watching another game of guys like Blueger, Suter, Heinen etc. etc on the bottom six muffing passes and failing to generate anything offensively, I might be tempted to take another flyer on Kravtsov.

In mean when you're losing anyway, what have you got to lose? They could sign him to an affordable contract and still ship him out to Abbotsford if it all fell apart.

Wouldn't be interesting if the Canucks were to do a major deal with the Hurricanes, and held out for Nikishin as one of the pieces coming back.

Granted it's a longshot......as much a longshot as both Kravtsov and Nikishin being Canucks next season.
 
Interesting, but somehow KHL players that don't work out in NHL and are doing well in KHL probably should just stay where they belong. Clearly can play well in a certain environment, but it's not in NHL.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kuzmenko goes back after this season.

Good for him. The play that marked the beginning of the end of his NHL career-- crosschecked into the boards with the puck 40 feet away from him; no penalty called-- is still one of the gold standards of NHL referee incompetence.

Tocchet has already written him off. He prefers a sea of PDGs
 
He's definitely lighting it up.

I've said before that I really doubt that he's coming back, and I still feel that way, and that's because of my sense of what Kravtsov himself is thinking. If he'd been imagining a possible NHL career, he would never have left; he'd have gone down the street to Abby with a determination to earn a call-up midseason. But he wasn't willing to bet on himself

He's on quite the heater and is making himself an intriguing option to bring back for another shot.

I think the reason he left, was strictly about 'money'. He probably earned at least 10 times in the KHL, what he'd earn still playing on an ELC in the AHL.

I suspect he'll stay in Russia for the same reason. but not sure long the Canucks actually retain his rights. I believe if he re-signs in the KHL, he automatically becomes a UFA when his contract is done.

He'd earn more in the NHL if he made it with some success. But he didn't think that would happen.
