Proposal: Kravtsov for Kaut

[returnofthemack29]

Both former 1st round wingers who could use a change of scenery. Fair deal?

I thought Kaut was looking like he was going to make the team this season, that he was looking good in camp. Is that not the case?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

He didn't have a good camp but also had an injury. He's going to play in the AHL and is perfectly fine with it. We can't guarantee kravstov a NHL deal though so not sure if this helps us.

 

[VijayPatel11]

If Kravtsov can't make the rangers, I don't see how he would make the avs...

 

[McJedi]

Why not. Both talented players that look the part at times. But it’s not happening for them at their respective franchises.

maybe Avs win another Ryan Graves change of scenery type trades with the Rangers.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I don't think Kratsov could be fit into our lineup so its AHL anyways for him

I think I'd rather keep Kaut but I don't dislike Kratsov

 

[PAZ]

I'd be open to this, or really any prospect spot.

Bednar doesn't like Kaut for whatever reason, so he won't ever get a chance with the Avs.

Didn't Kaut have a heart condition or am I thinking of someone else

Someone else.

Kaut’s biggest issue is coach Bednar’s love of crappy career AHL nobodies in their late 20s. He’ll play some garbage player like Megna or Sherwood on the 4th line over a Kaut or Bowers 110 times in 100. Never works but why not bench a Newhook for a totally washed up Sods.

This is Bednar’s favorite roster move. Age and vet status over ability.

You're remembering correctly. It was around his draft, though, hasn't been an issue afterwards.

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

Would be a nice change of scenery trade, if Krav could deal with having to work for a spot. He would probably get a fair shake with the Avs current roster.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Kratvsov doesn’t need a change in scenery

Sounds like he feels like he does.

 

[Trxjw]

I'd aim for someone with a bit more comparable offensive upside to Kravtsov but there are too many guys from that class who could use a fresh start for him not to get swapped with one of em.

 

[Jayevs]

Kravtsov was the player I was really hoping for in that draft so I’d be all over this trade. Kaut put up good numbers in the A last year and is progressing well overall but his skating ability makes him not the best fit for bednars system

 

[Perratrooper]

He had a minor corrective surgery if I’m remembering correctly. No issues since.

I think Krastov makes the Avs over Kaut because of Bednar’s desire for big fast forwards. I think Kaut is a more cerebral player than Krastov, but might not have the same physical tools. I would add a 2023 third to sweeten the deal to snag Krastov. I think Kaut would be fine playing in the AHL and happy to get a shot with a new org. Krastov will likely get a shot at the top 9 with Colorado, possibly even the second line. This is more due to a huge drop in depth to the Avs. I think Kaut is a better option than a lot of what is on the current Avs roster (Helm, Ranta and possibly LOC), but they all have speed and thus take the roster spot.

Just trade
Kravtsov


for “fill in blank”.

this guy has been offered around the village more than …

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Sounds like he feels like he does.

He’s not self aware enough to know that what he really needs is to grow up

 

[Savant]

Rangers can’t take wingers or D. Maybe a guy like Foudy make sense as a starter?

yo momma?

With Kravtsov shopping himself around there needs to be a thread all about him. May the highest bidder win.

Don’t get too far thanks

do not want the deal
and

he is only not on the rangers b'c they TEMPORARILY needed to send somebody down to not loose Hajek for nothing.

Seems like that's working out considering he seems to now be wanting out permanently.
