Pete Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 You're right, the only thing that would stop him from being in the NHL at this point would be his own play. They're certainly has been enough injury and opportunity from the NHL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Not really. They haven't brought anyone up to play wing. And Not in the top 9. Guys here made the team over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the point You're right, nothing's changed.. that's why Hunt is on the second line when he broke camp as a fourth liner. Blais out the year, Kakko hurt earlier, Panarin hurt now. Gauthier bad. Hunt totally would have beat out VK for a second line spot, if VK were here right now. Nothing has changed.

Keirik Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I think both sides made some horrible mistakes and in the end, we all pay for it. After some time with this club, I genuinely believe Gallant when he says he’s learning our makeup as we go. In other words, no handed spots for the most part unless you are seriously established. I think there could been some better realistic communication to our highly touted prospect. He deserved. He deserved than as much as ALF deserved to be automatically on the team despite doing nothing. But here we are.I don’t care what Krav camp says about never being here. When it’s him time and khl over you invite and expect him to show. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 They can't recall him until after the KHL season is over, and who is to say what our precise needs will be then. Taking him back then and immediately installing him on the first line would not exactly be a boon to team chemistry. I'd take him back, but under the same conditions that he bitched about last year: ie, moved around between lines to see what works best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a better chance of seeing him on Kopitar, McDavid or Matthews RW than Zibanejads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash or Czech Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 23 points in 28 games this year so far. Took a long, weird path but hey it ended up working for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Kravtsov might want to look at Hajek for a tutorial on what to do when you find yourself squeezed out of the lineup. The season is long, and you are likely to get a chance at some point, including chances with top players. Hajek has played this right. By the end of the year, his stock will be higher than it was at the start and he will be pretty much assured of a spot next year, with someone else if not the Rangers. Probably ditto Zac Jones. Gauthier is another who did not have a hissy fit when squeezed out and is now getting a chance. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering we're actually the #1 team in the league as of today, I wonder how much. How good does that look in print??? #1 in the NHL Feels great typing it, I'll tell ya that!!!

Sharpshooter Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Wasn't he quoted awhile back saying he was going to play through and try and get back to the Rangers at some point? Despite all that went down, and for him to come out and say that, maybe some things got ironed out and he'll be back here once the KHL season ends?

jsm7302 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Kravtsov and Lundkvist (I like Jones much more as a staple on the blue line) could make a nice package for something we need to strengthen the roster but.....at #1 in the NHL. What do we need? A scoring RW for the top 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hajek is also a former first-rounder, and Jones said all the right things going down. But this is all water under the bridge. I've moved into the position of waiting to see the trade return.

Apparently he doesn't because he bailed. lol But, I do think there's a chance he comes back here and plays once the KHL season ends whether it is actually for the long haul or a showcase for a trade.

We have leadership around here now, I believe, Sharpy. Between Gallant, and the "boys"...Reaves, Goodrow, Kreider, and the like...I'd tend to think they'd keep him in check, and straighten his ass out. We haven't had that type of culture around this team for about a decade, and I think it's starting to show up in a big way. This team actually has a "feel good" around it right now, and it's something to keep building on....This upcoming road trip is coming at a perfect time for these guys to cement this shit once and for good! I'm really looking forward to seeing them take this on the road the next 2 weeks! Edited January 4, 2022 by Ozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Yeah, and they've been solid on the road this year too. I believe they've also played the most games on the road right now in the league, now with this upcoming five game trip, it only means more home cooking in the second half. I do hope they can work something out with Krav and he's actually a part of this team going forward, as was envisioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 His bridge was burned when he said he was better than other players who made the team. Hard to come back from that. He's also not the winger & need. Either Kakko needs to become that guy, and Krav can slot into line 1, or it's hard to see where he fits. He'd upgrade Gauthier as 3RW but does he mesh? Hard to fuck with a team that's rolling. He's got a shit attitude. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
