[bl02]

Did he get the assist?

He did

Here's the play:

2-2

 

[pld459666]

See you soon buddy boy

 

[MetalJaws]

If they lose has it been said he'll come over right away or is this just speculation?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Quinn has already scratched him.

 

[RGY]

Do we have any timeline of when he could join the team? Is it 7 days? 10 days?

 

[tomobson]

I'm scared Kravstov and Quinn will once again not mesh. I doubt he'll be willing to go the AHL with covid still being an issue. Maybe he gets practices in with the team on the taxi squad or he just stays home and hopefully next year we have a new coach. With Panarin coming back we have nowhere to play him unless we run into more injuries or Quinn benches Goat. I definitely don't want to see him rot on the 4th line with Howden.

 

[Kravtsov420]

My sources are telling me that the plane has turned around and is now on its way back to Chelyabinsk. Kravtsov’s heart rate was NOT high enough for David Quinn’s balloon animals tutorial.

Do we really want to bring this guy over? His season just ended on a losing note and he wasn't good enough to put his team over the top. Not sure we want to bring that type of losing mentality into the locker room for the rest of the year.

 

[bl02]

Terrible! Needed a deep run to keep him away from this team unless Hartford is an option. Deep playoff run and another year in KHL would have been optimal

I'm lost for what mentality is right for the NYR locker room.

As for the Traktor loss, their own goalie effectively dumped them out almost(?) deliberately

Pretty sure Kratsov typically plays on the right side. Also laf has had better results from the left.

Laf had a nice game with Panarin in Washington before he went on his two week hiatus. That pretty much opened the floodgates for Laf, and it was bread who caused it. Plus Kravtsov has played some LW this year. I believe @Amazing Kreiderman would be able to confirm whether or not this is true.

Yes, Kravtsov played mostly LW this season, with Hyka listed as the RW on that line.

I think it's irrelevant anyway because these days wingers play a much more dynamic game instead of just being stapled to one side of the ice

IF VK comes over he should be centering the first line in Hartford at least to start.

I don't want Quinn to touch him.

What are you going to do, leave him in Hartford until Quinn is not here? So if Quinn is coaching the team next year, you want Kravstove nowhere near it?

And would it really be awful for Kravstov to not be developed like Buchnevich or Chytil?

And when are you giving up on the idea that Kravstov is coming here to be a center?

IDK about another year in the KHL. I think he needs to come here. Ideally without Quinn around, but either way.

Good point; not.

The front office seems to have Quinn’s back. I want Kravtsov on NHL ice and playing. He went back to the KHL and had a very good year. You can argue the KHL is tougher than the AHL. Who knows. Kravtsov doesn’t need AHL right away. Let’s see how he handles the play up here first. He’s what, 21? Chytil is 20 I believe and up and playing. Lafreniere and Kakko are 19 and 20. Let’s see what these guys can do here.

Until they flat out say that they won't do it.

And no, I don't want him near Quinn right now. Next year maybe there is an open spot for him to slide into but I'd rather not see him next to the likes of Howden and Rooney and then only to see him scratched in lieu of Howden just because.
