Didn't expect anything else

 

[Kocur26]

Kakko is gone - Gallant approved this on the plane .

 

[bleedblue94]

Excellent news. And I think this may be another step to a kakko trade this summer along with what happened yesterday. Kravtsov is coming here for a top 9 role and nothing less. If kakko is here next year I fully expect kravtsov will outplay him and take a top 6 role while kakko will sulk again for not being given top 6 minutes.

No quit in NY

 

[Filip Chytil]

@EdJovanovski is 875k richer now!

I'm pretty sure Kravtsov is fine playing in the NHL be it in top-9 or 13th forward with how things are going in Russia.

He's not coming here to be a 13th forward, and if that's how we are viewing him coming here than we are already setting this up to fail again

Oh and BTW, what the f*** is that #WeAreGoldStar! hash tag???

Is that our lame new offseason tag?

It’s Dan Millstein’s agency.

It’s Dan Millstein’s agency.

Oh ok, I got worried there

 

[EdJovanovski]

LETS f***IN GOOOOO. THIS IS THE REAL CUP, LET TAMPA KEEP THEIR CONSOLATION PRIZE. THE CHOSEN ONE IS BACK TO FULFILL THE PROPHECY!

Yeah, that was when he could get paid decently for being a top tier star in the KHL. That will not be the case going forward.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Mods should permaban Jovo now that Kravtsov is signed again to being things back into balance

 

[broadwayblue]

Good. Time to move forward. Kid better be busting his ass this summer to be in top form for camp.

 

[bleedblue94]

He could have just as well refused to sign and facilitated a trade. He signed for shit money here after refusing a contract in the khl for the money he asked them for. He wants to be here. He and Drury obviously talked this out as a last chance scenario here. OR the one year deal makes him tradeable now that other teams know he will actually he in the NHL next year as opposed to wondering if he would sign in NA

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I hope he comes here with the right attitude, the organization as well. We could use him. Also...this has 0 connection to Kakko. If it has an effect on anyone its Vatrano.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Offseason off to a good start.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Great news. Obviously was negotiated before last night and very clearly has nothing to do with KK.

 

[bleedblue94]

I haven't watched krasvtov as much as others but in a lot of highlights he appears to be working a bumper position on the pp and offering a high tip option. Wonder if he gets an opportunity to claim that spot with strome hopefully leaving now

 

[Anthony5967]

Gallant rubbed me the wrong way last night.

Next year.

Lafreniere-Zibanejad-Kreider
Panarin-Copp-Kakko
Goodrow-Chytil-Kravtsov
Motte-4C-Blais

 

[EdJovanovski]

Too bad they couldn’t have done this

 

[haohmaru]

Huh, and here I thought Drury was a big meanie who Kravtsov would never play for.

Bad couple of days for Kakko, I think.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

I love how quickly this happened. Make some more moves quickly don’t waste any time.

A lot of times he starts the draw lined up on right defense and skates toward the circle like the left handed Ovi spot. Sometimes he goes closer to the net like you described but I think he should stay a little bit further from the net to take one timers. He will have the best shot on the team, and he has the most of a shooters mentality
