GDT: NY Rangers 2018 Development Camp Thread

[NYRFANMANI]

C'mon now.

Krafty.

Kravty

His nickname is Krabby, I already have decided this for the rest of the board.

Think of Kravy like "gravy".

Krabby is just horible. There is no B in his name, and you're talking about crabs. Thats' not cool.

"Can't wait for that Kravy"

"look at that Kravy Vitali is cooking up"

I think we got this.

I checked with Uncle Larry. It’s a full NMC.

Well f*** me in the ass...

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Good. I approve this approach

 

[Badko]

Krave!

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Its not. I've posted this a million times. Might as well sticky it.



Open dialogue: Wild GM Chuck Fletcher finally meets with...

I guess the only exception to this might be that there was a new rule put in place for players that get drafted to the NHL, but does anyone really think the KHL cares about the NHL draft? I doubt it. Gorton himself has said he's not sure when asked. He never said that its definitively possible.

According to Igor Eronko, there is a distinction between a contract buy out (which can be done any time) and a contract termination (requires to be filed 18 months prior)

Contract termination:


Buy-out contract:

We can't loan him back to the KHL if he comes here for training camp?

Yes we can. We did that with Bereglazov. But I don't want him to be in a situation like that. Leave him in the KHL, sign him to an ELC next year

KHL insider. Bob McKenzie, Nick Kypreos, Darren Dreger and the IIHF follow him on Twitter, if you need any proof if he's trustworthy

 

[CTRanger]

Anyplace we can see official heights/weights from D Camp?

Eronko is more of an insider than Kalnins

staying in the K one more season isnt a problem at all.

hes gonna get major minutes with traktor and he's going to develop fine there.

imo, hes not ready now anyway.

 

[Wease]

Let him stay! Tank for Hughes!

Not that I'm doubting it, but does that organization have a history of giving big, important minutes to players that are on record as getting ready to leave ASAP?

A very important distinction.

While I would strongly prefer Kravtsov in the AHL, I can see why the KHL would be the more likely option.

You're asking this kid to not only leave money on the table, but pay to leave money on the table, and then earn less in North America.

Absolutely no gauretee of this at all. It’s much more likely he will get 13 minutes on the 3rd-4th line. Repeating myself in every thread but its very rare any KHL team plays their 18-19 year old anything more than 4th line minutes. They always favor the expirenced players

Quinn is out... Riley is ours ... Jack will be fine.. but there is the Draft Lottery and it means no chance for us..

I'm really ignorant of the business side of hockey - if I assumed that the Rangers reimbursing him for his buyout was a violation of NHL/CBA rules, would that be accurate?

After his performance in the playoffs after being given an increased role, I think they'll be fine giving him more ice time.

 

[Fitzy]

So it's plausible that Shesty, Kravtsov, and Rykov will all come over in the same offseason. Add a year of pro experience for Howden, Hajek, Day, Lindgren, Chytil, and Andersson, along with further info on Buchnevich's progression, and we should have a hell of a camp competition in the fall of 2019.

The non-Kravtsov guys from this years draft will be more than 1 year away though. Probably 3-4 in Miller and Lundkvist's cases.

I heard somewhere that he really wasn't given much of a increased role when he started piling up goals in the playoffs (maybe went from the 4th to 3rd line?)...he just made VERY good use of his limited ice time.

Oh yes...it's going to be a VERY exciting training camp in 2019..

If he's gonna be good, he's gonna be good. Preferable for him to learn in the AHL, but he can probably hone his skills more as a first line guy there. If money should ever be the main concern, for him, it's now.
