[brooks] Vitali Kravtsov Exercising European Out Clause; Signing with KHL Chelyabinsk

[josh]

Hartford is garbage. Always has been.

I’d rather not see players go there to die.

[Pete]

Hartford is undefeated. Only one team has given up less goals.

[Mr.wiskers]

Hartford has a new coaching staff, a staff with real experience. You can say The coaching staff in Hartford actually has more coaching experiences than everyone other than Ruff on our Ranger staff.

 

I think Kravtsov would have been better off here because in Hartford he was being taught ?our system? so that when he came up to NHL he?d be ready. Going to the KHL is not gonna help him, sure he may rack up pts over there but he?s still not gonna learn to play defense.

at development

 

Get Shesterkin out of there immediately!

[torontonyr]

One player doesn't reflect the entire system down or other players who hold the same passport.

 

By all accounts Igor is best served starting in the AHL than any other realistic options available.

 

For Kravtsov it may be more advantageous, but he's also younger and may have agreed to come on circumstances that varied wildly than what they became.

 

Not ready to panic on the player and I'm certainly not ready to extend that to the entire farm system.

You can let me know which players developed in Hartford.

 

2 or 3 years ago, I think the cut off was set at 50 games for “still has a chance”. Best player out of Hartford has been 46 point Anisimov (while playing with Hart/Art Ross trophy winner Patrick Kane).

None if this applies today.

Who plays in Hartford when you're going deep in the playoffs every year and trade all your first round picks and half your seconds?

None! Why?

 

 

Read this wrong - even when they do, what happens?

And what about any other rounds? They’ve literally developed no one.

I hear this every season.

This

[josh]

It applies until 1 person develops there. It’s a failure.

One of the teams tops prospects just left to play in Russia. That tells you something.

 

I repeat, the Rangers need to make it a desirable place to play, or it’s going to continue to be a failure.

What do you think they spent all offseason doing?

 

Chytil is thriving. So is Shesty. So is Lindgren. Keane.

 

One Russian who does what Russians do doesn't mean anything.

I think you overract a bit here.

 

Hartford looks better than in a long time. Kravtsov didnt fit in and feels another year in the KHL is best for him. He was drafted last year, its no big deal.

 

There is an interview in russian where he explains a lot around the situation from his perspective.

How many games played? Let’s wait and see. History tells a different story.

Yup. But I love my rangers. And if there’s an issue, I’ll comment. Their AHL franchise has been a huge issue for decades. 8 games won’t change my mind on how their development has been non existent.

[Pete]

There is no history other than the handful of games they played.

 

what you're saying equates to the Rangers were bad in 2002 therefore they'll always be bad.

[josh]

What I’m equating it to is that they’ve been bad every season. They’ve been horrible at player development.

 

I was optimistic for 5 seasons prior to last. Bah humbug! *spits*

But... They... Changed... Everything... This... Summer.

 

 

So I've deduced you're trolling!

[CBrowningPI]

They may have "changed everything" but that doesn't mean their changes will turn around their history of development issues. They started off hot, great. They have an uphill battle to get rid of the stigma Josh is talking about. You can't just give them an A grade because they're finally putting some effort in to their farm club. The fact that they let Hartford become a joke doesn't just end because of changes and a hot start, IMO.

[Albatrosss]

Apparently his claws to go back to KHL kicked in yesterday. That’s why he went back on Friday and hardly played in the A.CHAL because it was the plan all along
