Kravtsov (NYR Twitter)
The Rangers have loaned Vitali Kravtsov back to his former KHL team, Traktor. It was a logical move because both the next NHL and AHL seasons are currently slated to start sometime in early December. With Vitali already in Russia, he can get back to playing as the KHL season is starting up now.
This is great for the 20 year-old’s development. When the 2020-2021 season starts, the Rangers can recall him back without issue.

With Vitali Kravtsov on loan, the question to be asked is who else will the Rangers do this with.
