Vitali Kravtsov has apparently asked for a tradefrom the New York Rangers In a record released by Larry Brooks of The New York Post, the scribe creates, “The Post has confirmed that Vitali Kravtsov’s camp has requested that No. 74 be moved ahead of the March 3 deadline if he is not a part of the club’s immediate plans.” He includes, Saturday’s scrape in Carolina after having actually been returned right into the schedule the previous evening versus Seattle adhering to 4 straight in road clothing shows that he is not.”
Kravtsov has 3 objectives and also 3 helps in 28 video games for the Rangers this period. As the Rangers make a press for the playoffs and also are customers (having actually currently traded for Vladimir Tarasenko), there’s no area to wait for Kravtsov ahead about this period. The Rangers will not open up a place for him to quell him while he’s establishing, therefore it’s more probable they relocate him, thinking they can locate a taker. He’s making $875 and also will certainly be a pending RFA at the end of this period.

This Isn’ t a Trade That “Needs to Happen”
The Rangers are under no responsibility to relocate the gamer and also could select to hang onto him if he can not be infiltrated a larger bargain. As per Kyle Hall, “I know the Kravtsov trade request will refuel the Patrick Kane to the Rangers rumor but it would take a third team now to complete the deal, and from what I have been told from people in Chicago they aren’t particularly high on him. They want a member of the Kid Line.” There’s a large cash distinction in between Kravtsov and also Kane so the Rangers would certainly need to handle a variety of rounds to make that job.
More likely would be a smaller sized trade for a deepness item. Forever Blue Shirts creates that possibly the Rangers might trigger up discussions with Arizona Coyotes over the following couple of days. They Coyotes have 2 possible targets in Nick Bjugstad and also Nick Ritchie that might make for a ideal trade companion including Kravtsov.
