Traktor mentioned it on their website a few days ago that he would be day-to-day and miss at least 2 games

I went back and checked all headlines news posts there as far back as since before the break and I couldn’t find it. Obviously I will take your word for it but still it shouldn’t be this difficult.
would love to see him ready for the playoffs and contribute. Could be really big for his development. Overall this year has still been a good one for his game so far.

Yeah, from the development perspective this season clearly goes to the plus column. Some more KHL playoff experience then move to NA for the rest of the Rangers season (roster, taxi squad and / or Hartford)
All things being equal I hope he can stay another year with Traktor but I guess it seems like that probably won't happen. I know he has definitely become more adept at the physical part of the game but not sure if he is totally ready to make that jump to the NHL.

They aren't taking any risks. This is the final week of the reg season and they already qualified for the play offs.

I tend to agree with this. Kravtsov went from being the linchpin to the rebuild to now a significant X-factor. I am more than fine with allowing him to marinate for as long as necessary so as to allow him to step into the lineup and contribute from day 1 once he’s ready.
This all, of course, assumes that both Laf and Kakko will ultimately take the next step eventually.

Kravtsov is playing with a lot of jump in his game. Very noticeable on every shift.
Must have watched Buch playing poorly last night and smells blood in the water.

Funny moment. Byvaltsev just scored on the SH breakaway and tried to celebrate with Panarin kick. Got to the bench and sat next to Kravtsov who put his arm around him and they were laughing it out.

Did he just try to Panarin kick?
Has he been PKing a lot?
I'm ready to replace Buch with Kravtsov tbh. I was slowly warming up to Buch at the beginning of the season but that quickly vanished. We need to use Buch to get another Center.

Kravtsov doesn’t PK.
I’m sure you will lose patience with Kravtsov just as quickly as you’ve done with Buchnevich

is he as bad at finishing?
5 seasons. Buch has been afforded a lot of time. He's definitely not someone I would sign long-term big$$$ into his 30's.
