Glad the Rangers outsmarted us and took Kratstov.
Just to add some more perspective on the divergence of the two players, and hopefully I link this correctly:
It is a log of all of Kraptsov's 16 KHL goals.
Almost all on the doorstep and below/inside the dots. Many with space he will NOT find in the NHL.
In the NHL, bigger defensemen in the Metro (proper) will bounce his rail-thin frame all over the ice and into the boards.
Meanwhile, we have seen Wahlstrom sneak into the dirty area to score a goal and snipe an absolute rocket into the upper corner of the net.
Obviously it is still very early, but when I look at Wahlstrom, I see a slightly bigger T.J. Oshie.
