Prospect Watch: Rangers 1st rounder, Kravstov, puts on an offensive show

The Vitali Kravtsov hype train just keeps on rolling and during Russia’s game against the Czech Republic at the U20 Four Nations Tournament, it got even faster. Kravtsov, the first Rangers pick of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft at ninth overall, has been putting up great numbers in the KHL this season with his team, Traktor Chelyabinsk. He’s scored three times, assisted on eight other goals and if some of his teammates had finished more of his pinpoint passes, he could easily have 5-7 more points. Quickly, he is proving that Rangers brass made a good decision selection him as early as they did.
