We’re starting to get into the group of prospects that could be available when the Jackets pick at 18, and Kravtsov would be a solid option as a long-term solution at right wing. Following in the footsteps of Traktor alum Evgeni Kuznetsov, Kravtsov will likely spend a couple of seasons in the KHL before making the hop over to North America.
