Kravtsov asks for trade and rangers give him permission to make one

[NYR2009]

It is a good point dump. I agree with you.

My point is that look from the financial standpoint. At the end of the day it is about money, right? Not please us as fans. Kravtsov gets unlucky where he is no longer a favored child. There are 2 more that came along and they have an advantage over Kravtsov in terms of where they were drafted. Rangers will do everything not to demote two lottery winners and the other one is Panarin. I agree that Kreider is the only one that you have a chance of beating out.

From the financial side, Kravtsov has to play in the AHL or on the bottom six with lessor talent, hence lesser production, hence less career money than if he had the opportunity to play in the top 6. Think of it with our regular jobs. If you get lucky and are given an opportunity, you have a better chance of making more money in the future. If Kravtsov goes to Kraken or Senators, he will be in the top 6 with the possibility to make big money sooner than being on the Rangers and compete with top talent.

At the end of the day, Rangers is just a company. It is dear to us, but not to many players. They are just an employer.

Also a good point but look at it this way...if he agreed to play in the AHL at the start of the season he may have been called up when Kakko went on the IL and COULD have slotted into the 2nd line. There was no way for him or anyone else to have known that was going happen but it's the NHL for christ's sake. Players get injured all the time and spots open up frequently. Maybe if the Rangers find a willing partner this will work out better for him (and more importantly the Rangers).

I think he would feel too embarrassed and awkward to come back even if there were a guaranteed spot for him. Drury is a little bit to blame in it too for treating him somewhat poorly. I don't know why Kravtsov couldn't just play well on the 3rd line where he'd get plenty of minutes, along with playing with Chytil and Goodrow.

 

[NYR31]

I just read that Kravtsov's justification for quitting on Rangers is not because of Drury, or not making the team. There is no room for him in the top 6 and he sees himself as a top 6 winger. He is behind, Panarin, LFA, Kakko and Krieder. So he has only 3rd line to look forward to.

I actually understand him. He is a talented winger who is sent down to the miners and his destination is 3rd line. The Rangers drafted him before LFA and Kakko, so we didn't dream of winning the lottery 2 years in a row after drafting Kravtsov.

I am actually on the Kravtsov side here. He did do the same shit when he was 19, which doesn't help his case but today, this year, I get it.

Meh. Not open spots in the top 6 basically mean “unwilling to fight for one”.

it seems he just wants to be given a spot in the top 2 lines instead of earning it by outplaying the others when the opportunity arose.

 

[Ranger71]

I read that they're looking into Dylan Strome so maybe Kravtsov could be included in something with that.

Seriously????

How about outlook them..
How about putting your head down light up the AHL and if not in New York then become a star somewhere else.
How about knowing that it's a long season and injuries are inevitable, work your ass off, be the first one to get recalled and take a spot from someone.

Last time I checked lines change all the time and 1st 2nd and 3rd lines pretty much get jumbled all throughout the game
HHno..he is a pussy..he is one of those who thinks he deserves shit to be handed to him. Fuck that.


He will be remembered for being a baby not once but twice.

Dont mince words, Al! hahaha

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Dont mince words, Al! hahaha

Yeah..normally I am laid back but I'm going through a lot of things at home and reading this about this kid took me to the dark side

 

[kreidertime]

You are correct the kid is a pussy. Barron was great in college averaged a point game in the ahl was the best face off guy in a preseason and never complained once about going to the minors

 

[Greyvtrayn]

I hear ya...hope its nothing too serious.

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

I hear ya...hope its nothing too serious.

Unfortunately it's very serious...mother in law has stage 3 lung cancer and my mother has alzheimers and because of her short term memory being non existence she forgets to eat and drink and take her meds which lead to a seizure and a emergency room trip

 

[kreidertime]

Lost my mother Alzheimer’s last November, basically had to do everything for her that disease really sucks and it’s hard on the family

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Sorry fellas. My grandmother passed away from Alzheimer/dementia back in 2015. It's really depressing watching someone you love suffer from it.
Enough ball busting on the forum already. We all go through a lot, coming on here to talk Rangers hockey should never be a source of frustration or anger. Unless they blow a two goal lead with 6 minutes left....then all bets are off.

 

[mrmel29]

Sorry to hear about you guys family illnesses going on. If you live long enough we all go thru it eventually but doesn’t make it any easier when we do. Just hang in there and take it one day at a time. All you can do!

 

[Ranger71]

Sorry to hear guys.

 

[panzerporter]

I would not be surprised to see Drury do nothing with Krapsoff, he holds all the cards. Whatever Valeri wants is irrelevant, he's been uncooperative since he was drafted. GG gave him an opportunity in preseason and he didn't impress. Had he gone to the AHL as instructed he would be back up looking to earn a spot on a top line.

 

[kreidertime]

I have no problem letting Crapsov sit and rot the entire year.

 

[Ranger71]

Sounds like they may be able to patch things up with him.

 

[kreidertime]

He's gay. In other words he and his loser agent found out nobody wanted his euro pussy ass.

 

[mrmel29]

The rangers have given kratsnov permission to play in the kohl with tractor for this season. Kratsov thanked the rangers for working with him and said he looking forward to playing for the rangers down the line. Moho knows how this will ultimately work out but he was not playing here at the moment and at least it keeps a good asset in the fold for the fiture

 

[Stepupstepan]

Lol back to khl for this kid. Yeah I would be surprised if he ever plays here

 

[Ranger71]

Drury is partially to blame as it sounds like he was riding the kid overly hard and being a bit of a dick. Maybe Kravtsov will come around since they're letting him play in the K. A cooling off period. I don't think any organization he possibly goes to is going to simply hand him a top 6 spot.

 

[panzerporter]

I see it as another good job by Drury. I'm sure he put feelers out there and the return was crappier than Krapsoff warranted so it's off to Traktor to be a star. He's still young and there will be opportunities next year.
