Vitali Kravtsov is set to make his Rangers debut sometime this week, and it is going to come with a set of expectations. There will be some who expect him to produce immediately, all logic out the window. There are others who expect nothing, thinking he is a bust. Any expectations regarding Vitali Kravtsov should be set in reality, and based on actual facts.
Kravtsov had a solid season in the KHL before coming over to the Rangers. His line of 16-8-24 in 46 games may seem pedestrian, but he was the most talented player on the team.
