Vitali Kravtsov is a humble kid
Vitali Kravtsov won the KHL Rookie of the Year Award thanks to his brilliant performance in the playoffs, but he hasn’t let that or being selected 9th overall by the Rangers in the 2018 NHL Draft get to his head.
In a recent interview Kravtsov showed a great deal of humility when he was asked about winning the Alexei Cherepanov Award.
Yes, it’s great and very prestigious, but I think that mostly I didn’t deserve the award. I played well in the playoffs, but Eeli Tolvanen played great for the whole season. I was the chosen one, but if someone rethinks it, I can return the prize. I can even ask Eeli when we’ll meet if he wants the trophy. If he says so, I will give it to him.
