SaveByRichter35 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 He was drafted by Nashville in the expansion draft but I believe something to do with RFA rights prevented that from happening. This happened twice in some capacity or another. We're actually both correct, I just had the wrong decade. Pretty crazy it happen to him twice. I don't recall the Nashville thing at all. https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/the-one-day-that-mike-richter-was-a-member-of-the-edmonton-oilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Richter I think was claimed by Nashville in expansion draft in 98? Rights were also traded to Edmonton in the early 2000's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Link:https://twitter.com/vzmercogliano/status/1189201370940870656 Emphasizes what JD talked about before the season. Hartford needs to be a place for development but also needs to be successful so it feels like they're achieving something. Hartford is off to a good start and a few players have benefited.

That's great to read. It's amazing how long it's been since they fielded a genuinely competitive team, let alone one with developing young players. We're miles from the Corey Potter days.

Dunny Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 So, uhh.. Great team and all, but there's not a lot of prospects there now outside the goalies. Keane? Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 with Chytil and Lindgren called up (hopefully to stay), Hartford may not be a great team anymore. of course, Shesterkin will carry them to glory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long live the King Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 So, uhh.. Great team and all, but there's not a lot of prospects there now outside the goalies. Keane? Day? In addition to those guys, hopefully Rykov once he's healthy. Fingers crossed for Morgan Barron in the AHL playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 with Chytil and Lindgren called up (hopefully to stay), Hartford may not be a great team anymore. of course, Shesterkin will carry them to glory I think next year will be different. Rangers currently have 9 prospects playing in Europe (Kravtsov, Reunanen, Pajuniemi, Aaltonen, Lundkvist, Henriksson, Lindblom, Sjalin, Ragnarsson), I would think atleast some of them will come over and play AHL next year. Including Barron, Rykov and maybe Miller or Robertson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Shesterkin named goalie of the month in the AHL. 5-1-0, 1.49 GAA and .942 SV% in 6 games in October. Looks like adjusting to NA hockey isn?t so hard for everyone.

Albatrosss Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 btw, any other Russians on the team or is Shesty all alone? Is Rykov in HTFD or Russia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 btw, any other Russians on the team or is Shesty all alone? Is Rykov in HTFD or Russia? I'm curious how many Russians are playing in the AHL total. I don't think there's all that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 btw, any other Russians on the team or is Shesty all alone? Is Rykov in HTFD or Russia? Rykov is injured so he's still technically on the Rangers I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I've only checked a handful. A lingering through KHL/MHL due to lack of age restrictions. Some came from KHL/MHL and still played jr. Very few played only jr. A little less than half played KHL In order of popularity: KHL Both KHL + junior hockey Very few: Only junior hockey Only NCAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many. All came through junior first... And no 19 year old former KHLers in AHL... Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I looked through a bunch of AHLers from Russia, and where they previously played. Very few ONLY played junior. Those that played junior, usually played in the KHL prior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that Kravtsov should have made that leap... Is... Well... A leap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 OK, I'll buy that, but, why fuck him over? Why not be honest and tell him he's going to start in Hartford? That's obviously not what they did, or... Why couldn't they pay him NHL money in the AHL on a one-way? Why not flex your financial muscle this way? Seems like a no-brainer. Ultimately it was a total waste of time for Kravtsov and has spawned some bad blood despite the spin they're putting on it. Part of me hopes he stays in Russia as a Fuck You to the Rangers who are supposed to be professional hockey player developers, but in reality they don't do that job any better than you or I could just winging it. We probably won't get the whole story for a few years, but when it comes out it won't surprise me to learn that they lied to him 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably won't get the whole story for a few years, but when it comes out it won't surprise me to learn that they lied to him 100%.If Kravtsov didn't have a 2 way, that's on his agent. Not the rangers. I don't know why you're painting him a victim. Maybe the Rangers wanted to see if he made the big club? You're assuming they had negative intent with zero proof. They gave him every chance to make the team. He played every preseason game, IIRC. Throughout this whole thing I've yet to hear you acknowledge if you think he should be on the team over: Panarin Buchnevich Kreider Kakko Names Lemiuex Fast Strome (accounting that Strome was a center at the time) Because he wasn't competing with Smith, Haley, McKegg or any other 4th liner...and be wasn't competing with centers because he's not one. So there were 8 wings for 6 spots...he'd have to have shredded camp and lit the world on fire. He and his agent had to have known that coming over...and he didn't rip it up. All of this is really on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
