Most overrated tourney. Good for the younger less developed prospects, but there's little to be garnered for the older or more advanced ones. I can't get excited for how a prospect plays against other kids when I'm expecting them to hold their own in the NHL or even the AHL that season (aka ppl complaining Chytil wasn't in the tourney last year as if that makes a difference for Chytil and who cares if the team does better at Traverse).


So happy to see these two signed can't wait for training camp so hard!

Kravtsov is 6'4 now? Used to be listed as 6'2 170, is now at 183 lbs.

Kravtsov is 6'4 now? Used to be listed as 6'2 170, is now at 183 lbs.

He was 6'2 last year at 17-18, wouldn't be surprised if he grew another inch. 6'4 seems a bit excessive but who knows. It's impossible to ever figure them since every site is different.

"Standard 3 year ELC contract".

I'm guessing that means there's no out clause for Shesty? Great news if true.

I don't believe this for a second, because it's simply not allowed to even negotiate with them as long as they are under contract

Unless they’re given permission. Not the same as releasing a player early, which would allow them to sign the actual contract, but they can still agree on terms with the effective date being whenever it’s allowed.

Which is probably the case. The only reason they weren't released from their contracts, at least Kravtsov, was due to the lockout implications.

Not that it really matters anyway. Them coming over this summer is hockey's worst kept secret

Does anyone have any images of Kravtsov standing next to an object known to be 6'4"?

 

[hi]

I think the Rangers would like to make Igor feel as comfortable as possible in New York, so they will select his teammate of 3 games, Podkolzin with the 2nd overall pick.

Also with another goalie moving up the organizational ladder, Gorton would be wise to use one of his early picks this year on a goalie.

Spoiler

 

[eco's bones]

I'm glad that it looks like they're signed but I'll feel best of all when the Rangers announce officially.

I'm 5'8"

Excited and nervous.

These two are important pieces, with very high ceilings. Can't wait to see how they adjust.

Are you reacting to that pic of AK, because he's peaked.

 

[Huck Cheever]

I need to know what this gif is called

I dunno, I think AK could be the 5th line RW option we've been searching for...

I can't skate, but am still better than Vesey. Trust me

Feels like Rykov won't be coming over this year. It's also possible they're waiting to see how Hartford shapes up and how many pro contract slots they have left before deciding on Reunanan and Rykov for this season. I would think, because Rykov's rights are indefinitely due to lack of KHL transfer agreement that Reunanan is higher on the priority list this off-season/training camp. They could have enough slots to offer both a contract. But they can't offer both or maybe either to play many meaningful games in the NHL due to current D glut.

Tarmo should stay in Europe another season.

How tall is the object known as @Amazing Kreiderman ?
