All news seems to be about Vitali Kravtsov lately, as one of the top Rangers’ prospects recently left the AHL to head back home to Russia. It wasn’t much of a surprise that he went home, but now there seems to be some dirty laundry being aired. The article is in Russian, but the translation brings about some interesting tidbits:
- Kravtsov did not ask Artemi Panarin to try to get him a spot on the roster, as the kid believes in earning his role.
- He was told that because he did not hit a pulse of 180 beats per minute during a drill that was designed to test effort, he was benched.
