Prospect Info: Vitali Kravtsov: Part IX

[mas0764]

Yeah if the rangers manage contracts well, they will be a three-line offensive monster.

If you could get Buch for under $4m it would seem like a steal but otherwise probably too expensive.

Keep telling yourself that.

All of a sudden, this thread smells like last place.

He's right btw.

If Krav can translate his game to the NHL I think it's time to stack Mika and Panarin. Unless you start playing Kakko and Laf on PK there just isnt enough minutes to distribute 3 good lines when special teams can take chunks out of the game.

Panarin Ziba Buch
Laf Chytil Kaako
Kreider Strome Kravstov

With that type of top 9 you can easily interchange a winger for more ice time if they are buzzing that game.

Is Traktor making the playoffs? Quick glance and it looks like they really need to win a majority of their remaining games to do so. Also, most of their recent wins have been against teams with similar records or worse.

Lol how are we going to land Eichel and keep all of those guys?

I like where your head is at with 2c though.

What? They are 16 points ahead of no 9 in the conference. 7 games left.

They already clinched.

I had no idea. They only had 60 points or something in that realm. Wasnt sure how many teams made it.

8 per conference. Same as the NHL. They just play fewer games

Gotcha. Well it looks like its still tight where they could finish 7th or 8th with a tough road ahead in round 1 of the playoffs.

So in this scenario, we trade Zibs, Strome, Howden, Gauthier, Skinner and how many firsts for Eichel???

Clinched playoffs already. Have a fighter chance to get home field advantage in the first round but not likely. More realistically they will be 5-8 in the East and should try to avoid the top 3 teams in this conference.

Kravtsov isn't a center and looked under whelming at center in the WJC when he did try and play center.

People can keep trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, but long term planning around a winger playing center is silly.

Would be nice in a dream world. How come everyone is penciling Barron in as a C. I thought he only played as a wing. A LW primarily if I’m not mistaken ?

Barron and Kravtsov are not centers yet we are penciling them in as if we are gona throw some magic fairy dust on them and make them centers. They have very small sample sizes at the center position at lower levels/tournaments. Expecting them to be a center at the NHL level is an extreme long shot. Pretty much a pipe dream. Barron has been given more consideration but thats all he was given, consideration.

 

[The New Russian Five]

Lol insane wing depth and abysmal center depth means try everyone at center!

Traktor lost to CSKA 2:3 in SO. Kravtsov scored one of SO goals and CSKA goalie stopped his next attempt (when it goes beyond regulation rounds - 5 in the KHL - players allowed to go again).
