Bumping this - reports out of Russia suggest that Kravtsov has left the NHL and signed with Traktor Chelyabinsk for 2 years.

 

There are no "reports," lol. There's you seeing it posted on a Russian site and HF Boards — arguably two of the least reliable places on the entire internet.

 

Let's pump the brakes, yeah?

One of the more reputable Russian sports sites is the source reporting that Kravtsov has jumped the pond. But yes, many Russian sources are sketch and we should wait for something somewhat more concrete. Hence suggest.

Someone called this back when he was traded...I forget who, and I can't find it....but what a fucking disappointment he's been.

 

Just go away, Vitaly..."The HPV of the NHL"

Thinking about it and i dont know how much its the kids and how much it was the Rangers euro ex-scouting promising Kravtsov and Anderson the world and all kinds of ice time and not giving them shit.  Anderson, Kravtsov—same storyline. 

It very much looks like a bit from column A and a bit from column B.

In fact, very little appears to have been done well with these two. 

They were reaches in the draft. 

They evidently weren't handled well once they got here.

Both showed themselves as bad character picks. Andersson probably not cut out for life in the NHL, Kravtsov being a massive diva.

And ultimately, even as reaches, they turned out to be completely underwhelming as players. They would both have been egregious uses of late 1sts, never mind top 10 picks.

Just a brutal scouting job all round.

I almost wonder if they didn't scout Europe or Russia in those years and just watched the WJC to do their work.

It feels like they thought they were better than they actually were. Maybe it was the management and scouting staff that blew smoke up their asses?

This.

 

Both are a direct result of poor scouting and reaching in the draft.
