confirmed: Vitali Kravtsov Returns to Hartford Wolf Pack

Just hope he doesn't turn out to be Evgeny Grachyov

 

That's a lazy comparison.

lol.. That's like everybody comparing Stroman to Tom Gordon cause they can't think of another short black starter lol

Just hope he doesn't turn out to be Evgeny Grachyov

 

Nah...Grachev was not even close to a 7th overall pick. He was just not good enough. Kravtsov could be a head case

Full translation of Russia article:

 

Tractor CEO Boris Vidgof said that striker Vitaliy Kravtsov returned to Russia dismantled from the United States.

 

“Of course, some exchanges are possible, but Vitaly Kravtsov remains in the club. The guy just came, the guy plays, not everything works out.

 

Now he went to help the VHL team to get to some condition, because he came dismantled and upset from America, ”said Vidgof.

 

At the moment, the 19-year-old hockey player is located at Chelmet .

Geezus pull yourself together bud.

This Gillian Kemmerer interviewed Federov last month:

 

GK: New York Rangers prospect Vitali Kravtsov has made big news lately. He was sent down to Hartford and decided to exercise a clause in his contract that allowed him to return to Traktor Chelyabinsk. It has sparked a debate over whether an NHL prospect better develops in the AHL versus the KHL.

 

SF: It’s a unique situation—I do not know Vitaly well as a player or a person. I know what they’re debating: he was not willing to stay in the system, to go on the buses for 10-12 hours. Where were his agents and parents to set expectations? Did he think that he was going to the New York Rangers’ top two lines? He could be a top-six forward, but if you look at the roster, there are already 27 or 28 players. Where do you fit? That’s where agents need to come in to set expectations. You have to talk to the kid like an adult. Obviously Vitali has great potential, but I have seen a lot of great young talents where nothing happens.

 

I think we have to wait and see. It’s possible he will get more ice time [here], and will develop in a year or so to play in the NHL. But again, he left the system of the Rangers. It is going to be up to him. He needs a plan now. I’m telling you, he needs a plan every game. He chose to come back and play for his home team, which has really struggled. Russian fans welcome that. American fans, probably not — they think that in the North American system, he can learn quicker (smaller ice size and so on). That is true too. We have to wait and see. Hopefully, he becomes a KHL star—but now, I think he has to stay here until 24 or 25 years old. He does not need to go back earlier than that, aside from training camps. He needs a good advisor, and support of his parents—but they are not to advise him on what to do. Then we’ll see.

 

It’s not a strong opinion; it’s a dry opinion on the basis of my experience.

 

 

GK: What is your blanket advice to Russian players coming to the NHL?

 

SF: For me, play in the KHL and become a top player here. That’s what Kaprizov and Sorokin have done. That’s a good platform, not NHL level—but it’s good, comparative hockey here.

 

If we come back to Kravtsov, he needs to do the same.

the rangers fans had very high expectations of evgeny

At the moment, the 19-year-old hockey player is located at Chelmet . better there than Chernobyl.

Sage advice, Sergei.

LOL, well he is a GM for the leagues top team. I'm sure he wants to keep the top Russian players in Russia.

Thats exactly it

I have a feeling we'll never see Kravtsov play for the Rangers.

Just hope he doesn't turn out to be Evgeny Grachyov

 

Grachev was a 3rd round flier. Had big numbers in junior from playing with Duchene and they rolled the dice on him

I know he wasn't a first rounder,but because of his numbers,the rangers and the fans had a lot of hope

So pretty much every Ranger prospect?

I can’t speak for fans, but I don’t think the organization did. Many thought his numbers were inflated cause he played with Duchene. Like Rob Pearson has playing on a line with Lindros. Which is why they took him in 3rd round

 

And they were right.

So pretty much every Ranger prospect?

of course we have hope and do keep watch these prospects,but there are some who excel in the juniors or what ever league they play in,and give the fan base extra hope

Nice! I?m sure he?s going to Hartford but I wonder if he gets a shot in ny anytime soon
