Though the Rangers are reportedly asking for a high price for the skilled, but unproved forward, they very well might just have to take the best offer they can get and move on, just as they did with Andersson. Regardless of his reasoning, the fact remains that Kravtsov has requested a trade and it does not seem likely that he will back off of that stance any time soon. (The one top-six roadblock that was moved was Pavel Buchnevich,В who also happened to be a friend and mentor to Kravtsov.) It is very conceivable that Kravtsov, whose work ethic and drive have been called into question before, sees these players not as a challenge but as an excuse to ask for a move elsewhere. It is actually a grounded theory, as established stars Artemi Panarinand Chris Kreiderand recent top picks Alexis Lafreniereand Kaapo Kakkoappear to have a stranglehold on the top-six winger roles in the short- and long-term.

Brooks reports that Kravtsov was not just unhappy that he did not make the cut this year, but that he would never get a top-six chance with the Rangers. The New York PostвЂ™s Larry Brooks believes that KravtsovвЂ™s malcontent is actually more about opportunity than it is about Drury. However, other opinions on the situation do exist. Dating back to his time as GM of the AHLвЂ™s Hartford Wolfpack, Drury and Kravtsov have had a number of run-ins and Staple feels that DruryвЂ™s promotion signaled to Kravtsov that his time as a Ranger was over. Multiple league sources have stated that the relationship between Kravtsov and GM Chris DruryВ is strained, to say the least. Why the animosity from Kravtsov toward New York? While the official statement has been that the decision was made purely as a result of again not being afforded an NHL opportunity with the Rangers, Staple believes there is more going on behind the scenes.

As Staple opines, the team needs to be cautious about potentially losing another top-ten draft pick and talented import after the Lias Anderssonfiasco, but may not have another option.

SportsnetвЂ™s Elliotte Friedman even notes that Rangers head coach Gerard GallantВ called Kravtsov himself and asked him to come back, but to no avail. The AthleticвЂ™s Arthur Staple reports that the team is holding out hope that he may return, but for now Kravstov is unwilling to consider rejoining the club.
