I was wrong! Everyday Vitali Kravtsov looks like the elite forward that has eluded the Rangers in every draft since it started in 1963.
When the Rangers choose to go off the board last summer by passing over American sniper, Oliver Wahlstrom and select Russian playmaker, Vitali Kravtsov I was livid.
I wrote a pretty scathing article after the draft that the Rangers opted to go with “a decent offensive piece” versus a “prolific goal scorer for years to come.” Now, we flash forward nearly 6 months later and Wahlstrom is struggling while Kravtsov is thriving.
