Prospect Info: Vitali Kravtsov: Part IX

[True Blue]

I didn’t blame anyone did I?

Not yet. Let's give it another game. Am positive that the "Quinn ruins prospects" is only a game away.

At least one thing the new servers can handle

You don't remember Vorobyev?

Daniel Goneau

 

[Trxjw]

I think he's being worked into the lineup in a perfect way. Spot minutes with the top line is just right. If he can put another quality game together tomorrow I might start him on that top line on Sunday and give Kreider a night off.

When it was deserved he got criticism. When he improved his deployment a bit I stopped. Not hard to figure out.

I actually like Quinn and hope he succeeds.... I’m pulling for him. But there has been reason to be concerned.

Throwing him out there full time with Mikachu or Panarin would be great, but also would put him against much tougher matchups, especially on the road. Low and slow is the way to go for now. He'll have his moments with the big boys where the lines briefly get mashed up during changes on the fly and he might catch the opposition tired in their own zone. All he needs is 15 seconds with the big boys and he's got something cooking already

I'm proud of the way he got from A to B, in terms of struggling in Hartford and going home (and struggling there) to really dedicating himself to all phases of the game, making significant improvement, and coming over here ready to go. It's great to see and a real credit to his character.

Though the production hasn't been there yet, I think he's been every bit as effective as he was in the KHL. I even saw him chip a puck in deep last night. I wept tears of joy. I'm still not 100% sold on him becoming an elite offensive producer, but what he has shown thus far is really encouraging.

He's a high-danger-situations production machine. Don't know what his conversion rate will be so it would look like a lot of a lot of opportunities wasted (and that could make a lot of folks keep frustrated - not unlike the takes on Buchnevich since he got to NY) but it's going to be at least top-6 level.

 

[ThirdEye]

Filip Forsberg levels of production would be nice

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I will say I liked Quinn experimenting with the lines in the third period. This was one of the rare games where I felt comfortable after the first period we'd win it, the only question was by how much After 2 it was done. So good on Quinn to move Kravtsov around and other players.

That's who @Amazing Kreiderman has compared him to before.

He has a MUCH better shot than Buch so I don’t foresee finishing being an issue

Lol I thought they were going to bust out in the 3rd. My bookie gonna be happy I thought so too.

He is also better right now than Buch was at the same age.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

He is also better right now than Buch was at the same age.

that is why he was top 10 pick while Buch slipped into 3rd round. Buch had better numbers in KHL though before the trade.

 

[bernmeister]

Just want to thank Kravtsov for making me look so good.

He has proven he has the skills, etc to succeed at pivot if he goes there.

They should really do what Anaheim is doing with Zegras. Send him to the A for a little bit to develop as a center.

No. Anaheim season is done, while Kravtsov is helping the Rangers playoff push.

And if you want an exactly comparable situation (even though it’s not) how many games Zegras spent with the Ducks playing the wing before being sent down?

other than guaranteeing him max mins, there is no upside to that.
He has starred in best league outside NHL, a boy among men.

And as I have said.
Kappo is a good mix with Panarin who would watch over them both.

most mins line
Kakko-Kravtsov-Panarin

2nd most
LaF-Chytil-Gauthier

3rd
Kreider-Zib-blackwell

that's the ticket.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I really wish he didn't fan on that one play where he had a prime scoring chance. I feel like this was his quietest game in a while.

Worst game but that’s ok. He was due for one tbh just to remind that he’s stills only a prospect.
