That was Lias AnderssonWell, I'd say Kravtsov was the original "not living up to the hype pick", the trendsetter, others just followed.

Kravtsov's NHL point totals weren't really anymore underwhelming than Kakko or Laff. They were just given more chances due to being top 2 picks.
If Kravtsov were given 2/3 full seasons he probably puts up at least equal point totals and potentially better than Kakko/Laf.
Not that equalling them is some amazing feat...but all 3 guys could be good by the time they are 24 years old. High expectations for really young guys.

Whining and floating. Talented kid with entitlement issues and little drive.What can we expect from him?
Honestly those issues are the types of issues that seem to be easier to overcome as a player gets older and is moved around a couple of time. See Jared McCannWhining and floating. Talented kid with entitlement issues and little drive.
Objectively has always been one of my favourite prospects/players that was blundered by an incompetent organization. So welcome to Aquilinis Canucks Vitaly!
This guy did a favour. But these stats arent comparable. (I mean they are if you straight up compare them)Comparing their seasons from comparative draft year seasons.
Kravtsov
(2019/20* and 2020/21) - 42pts in 99 games in the KHL and AHL = .42 ppg
*2019/20 is 18 pts in 50 games in the KHL and AHL = .36ppg
Kakko
(2020/21 and 2021/22) - 35 pts in 91 games in the NHL = .38 ppg
Lafreniere
(2021/22) - 31 pts in 79 games in the NHL = .39 ppg
The fair comparison for Lafreniere would be to Kravtsov's 2019/20 season.
.39ppg for Lafreniere in the NHL compared to .36ppg in the KHL and AHL for Kravtsov.
Kakko and Lafreniere have a fairly similar production playing in the NHL as Kravstov had in the KHL/AHL despite receiving less ice time in their respective leagues as well as very limited PP time.
Seems like a very slow start with Vancouver, but didn't get the chance to watch a Nucks game since his acquisition...is he getting quality minutes? is a "final" comeback in Russia is to be expected with him at the end of the season?
