They’re coming over.
The Rangers have reached agreements in principle with both Vitali Kravtsov and Igor Shestyorkin, The Post has confirmed, though neither Russian will be free to sign until the expiration of their KHL contracts that run through April 30.
Shestyorkin, the 23-year-old goaltender (24 in December), has a contract clause that would allow him to return to Russia if the Rangers were to assign him to the AHL Wolf Pack, The Post has learned. Management apparently is confident, however, that would not be the 2014 fourth-rounder’s intention if he needs time in the AHL to adapt to the North American game.
