The Rangers Should Buy Out Kravtsov’s KHL Deal And Bring Him To North America

Vitali Kravtsov, the ninth overall pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft has a decision to make. Should he have his contract bought out and he’d come over to the Rangers organization this year or should he finish his current contract with his KHL team and come for the next season. As of right now, it’s up in the air. If you’re like me, you weren’t initially thrilled that the Rangers passed up on Oliver Wahlstrom, the apparent “best goal scorer in the draft” but that is all behind us now. There was a reason that Jeff Gorton and the rest of the Rangers organization chose Kravtsov.
