Vitali Kravtsov’s season ended yesterday, as his Traktor were swept out of the playoffs. Now “free” to sign with the team that drafted him, all eyes are on the Rangers and what they plan on doing with their 2018 1st round pick.
There are truly just three scenarios for the Rangers and Kravtsov:
- Sign him now and bring him to the NHL.
- Sign him now and bring him to the NHL, but limit him to fewer than 11 games played (we will get to this).
- Sign him for next year and send him to the AHL.
