New York Rangers: Vitali Kravtsov’s KHL team makes statement

Will he be released from his contract or not? That has been the question asked by the New York Rangers with regards to their first-round draft pick, Vitali Kravtsov.

Traktor's GM has given a statement regarding Kravtsov. One of the reasons they don't want to release him is because it means losing his KHL rights, and with a possible NHL lockout they would give up a valuable asset by doing so. #NYR https://t.co/XmA1VsGxrf
