With all the talk about Adam Fox and Kaapo Kakko, it seems like Vitali Kravtsov’s arrival has been overshadowed a bit. But the 19-year-old winger has the talent to take the league by storm this upcoming season. On May 21st, the ninth overall pick in the 2018 draft left Vladivostok and said goodbye to his father to travel to North America and settle in. His contract will start on July 1st, and Kravtsov is determined to make the most of his first season in New York.
He finished the KHL season with 21 points, despite his team only scoring 79 goals in the games he played in.
