With a 6’ 3” frame, the puck glued on his stick… the Rangers called his name with the 9th overall pick. He came to play for the team but then fled the scene. We don’t talk about Kravtsov.
Whether you think he’s a disgruntled prima donna or a scorned kid, whatever you choose to believe about the Rangers’ Vitali Kravtsov situation is your opinion to have. I’m not going to dive into the drama since it’s been dissected in every which way imaginable. However, the facts of the situation remain that a young talented forward chose to publicly walk away from the team that drafted him, and we may never know the entirety of the interactions between the Rangers and Kravtsov that led us to this position.
