Try and make it work, but only if Kravtsov has learned at least some modicum of humility. Also assuming Drury is capable of practicing humility himself for mistakes he’s made handling this kid. I’d love to see them try to patch it up and move forward. I do think it’s a long-shot, but who knows. As said, if he’s still in the organization, there’s still a chance. It’s a shame he reacted how he did at the time he did though. He’d have been called back up in such short order if he’d have just accepted the assignment to Hartford.

At the same time, this is a kid who apparently doesn’t “need” things to go his way in the NHL in order to live a quality and comfortable life, or he would have done whatever it took. I can see why that rubs some people the wrong way. It does make him appear spoiled and emotionally immature (not unlike Lias Andersson). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeroflot also shut down all their international flights to prevent the foreign-leased airplanes from being impounded. But, that does not impact the train, buss, car and the ferry. The proximity to Helsinki, Finland makes the previously posted route a viable option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 25 points in 39 career KHL playoff games, including *checks notes* 22 games as a teenager.

But here’s the thing with him… maybe I don’t remember, but I don’t recall there being any questions about his character, makeup, maturity, etc., when he was drafted. I actually have a college friend who works for a large multinational and has lived in Russia briefly but also spent some time over there on business, like 4-6 weeks at a time. He’s seen and had seen Kravtsov play before he was drafted and he had said to me that he looked amazingly skilled but hadn’t seen him scouted too much. Also, when he went back over the first time and got a VHL demotion, I think that really screwed him up. And I think part of the refusal of the AHL assignment was stemming from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly not getting good advice and seems to want to surround himself with people who just tell him that pump his tires. Quote Where do they go from here? It was telling that Kravtsov fired his previous agent, Paul Theofanous, during the offseason. He replaced him with Dan Milstein, who declined to comment for this story, but is known for being outspoken on behalf of his clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
