Anybody have word on Kravty? How’s he’s looked (stat line is all I’ve seen sadly)
He played on 2/8 and actually scored a goal. But he was out the two precious games on 2/7 and 2/5. And now tonight. I didn't watch the 2/8 game so I don't know if he picked up an injury, but he's probably not sick at this point.Is Rykov injured or still battling a nasty flu bug? It's odd that he's been out this long.

Too many of these no show offensive games lately.
Agree on Kravtsov – but I don't think we'll see the others, since if that many bodies get shipped off the NHL squad, there will be bodies coming back the other way (who will profile as much more likely to become NHLers).Gonna get worse too. Expect Kravtsov to get his cup of coffee to finish the year. I expect Nieves up too maybe Lettieri even
Nieves is awful. he is not an NHL playerGonna get worse too. Expect Kravtsov to get his cup of coffee to finish the year. I expect Nieves up too maybe Lettieri even
was the cap a reason why Beleskey is not here over Haley. Beleskey can still play as a 4th liner in my opinion? Boston is retaining so I doubt that is the reason. like Phil, he should be on the NHL roster.I could see Gorton doing Beleskey a solid and bringing him up as a 4th liner for 10-15 games. The guy has played hard down in the AHL. Probably Fogarty as well

I guess, but I feel like Beleskey has proven he’s not an NHL player at this pointI could see Gorton doing Beleskey a solid and bringing him up as a 4th liner for 10-15 games. The guy has played hard down in the AHL. Probably Fogarty as well

I think that is the main reason, yes.

Saying he’s better than guys who also aren’t NHLers isn’t really saying muchFYI these days details like Cap hit are publicly available:
New York Rangers - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Even w retention, Beleskey Cap hit is $1.9M (pro-rated over regular season, like all)
while PdG (and Niees, Fogarty, Lettieri) is just $700k
[ Gettinger $730k, Kratsov $925k, Lias $894k)
so signifigant difference
re GK's post, i don't know if I agree,
Beleskey likely wont ever have another impact NHL scoring season (37 goals, 69 pts total across '14-15 and '15-16),
but the market place for 11th, 12th, 13th NHL forwards is inconsistent, unpredictable, fickle
Beleskey still plays with and edge and has more winger skills than, just using NYR recent examples, Haley, BSmith, CMcLeod, CBrickley
i could see him getting a shot as a depth winger during these last few weeks of his contract, either w NYR if they move out multiple Fs, or with contender needing depth
in my mind, a coach like Joel Q w Panthers, could probably make good use of Beleskey or B.Smith, he utilized marginal guys to good effect during those 3 CBH Cup runs
Nieves is awful. he is not an NHL player
Uhhh obviously as a fill in for the rest of the gear if we blow guys out calm down
Month old account complaining about lack of North American toughness........Has kravstov shown any ability to get to the net ? I’m tired of the rangers and perimeter players . Please stop drafting players that need to learn a North American style .
