Surprised to see how much he's struggled this season statistically. What is going on with his development? Has he looked as bad as the stats show?

He's not a win-now player, so it doesn't make much sense for any of the teams in the playoff race to acquire him...

Kakko + Deangelo for Mantha + NYR's 2021 2nd

You will never get anything close to value for him. Just hold on to him and hope he figures it out and if he doesn't trade him for a 3rd liner in two years.

He has been one of the best possession and defensive players in the team. Adv stats look good, just no end product. Would like to see him shoot more, but the points will come at some point.

He was one of the worst players in nhl last year, so his progress from last year has been excellent. I get the frustration in lack of production but trading him at this point is a suicide

Slightly outdated but:

I think you would need to throw in more at least 2 more 2nd rounders.

I mean I’d take him in nashville if he’s available but would probably want to trade roster pieces for him rather than picks and prospects

Good luck to you if youre expecting Kravtsov to come to NHL as some kind of high scoring physical player. He isnt even that in KHL but surely NHL will be different

I am not, I just see Kravtsov and Kakko as 2 similar/redundant RW so one likely has to go.

Kravtsov is a year older and is unlikely to make the NHL this season. Very far from a guaranteed top 6 guy. Why would you take him over someone who is clearly a NHL player at a younger age but just lacks end product at the moment?

If I'm rangers I'd sell him now before it gets worse. Maybe they can get a 1st round pick and prospect for him .
First of all, what kinda value do you think teams would be paying for him? 1st and a prospect for Kakko right now? Who's going to pay that?

I’d love to trade for Kakko at the draft.

I don’t think the Rangers entertain moving him before his ELC is up.
