Spoosh Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 How can one not like this trade Maybe it works out, maybe not. But the potential is there. Lockwood was ok here but definitely worth the ”risk” and the pick is a really long shot anyway. Great news! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Certainly a buy low project. Lockwood was getting to be limited for his NHL value, a reasonably responsible replacement player but not much more than that. If Kravtsov can find some offensive form, he might be a piece to flip later on for more, or we might be making another move to free up space for him longer term.

I like it (though the pending RFA status would be a bit of a gamble in case he doesn't heat up in the next little while). Then again, if we're bottoming out I hope we trade some of Boeser/ Garland, then bring up Hoglander and Kravtsov, play them in the middle 6 with Mikheyev and Podkolzin and restock the wings, then somehow find a fix for the centers (Raty?).

Petterson649 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Wasn't Lockwood the type of player we need to keep? Defensive, aggressive, gritty checking forward? Traded for a russian clueless jake virtanen There's a reason he's a former 9th overall who didn't crack the team. Its called a BUST kids 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So great trade. Again, one could argue the Canucks actually gave up the better prospect. To me, that's true, but health issues make the trade a reasonable gamble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kravtsov 23 - 6'3 - 205, with lots of talent just never really fit with NYR-- Lots of upside.. Trading Lockwood 5'10 -24 we already have lots of small forward...Kravtsov has lots more upside and we already have 4 Russians for him to fit in with.. Excited about this player.. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danjr Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I have never liked Lockwood. I think many of the Canucks fans here highly over-rated him. There was nothing in his NHL game that I could take as needing him on our team. Looking at Kravstov's highlights.....he has great moves. If he can be part of a highly offensive line, which shelters his poor defensive game, that would be ideal. Or learning how to play a 200 foot game. Being around our other Russian players is a bonus. A complete win in this trade....even if he plays a handful of games for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People love to nit pick every move we make no matter how small especially with their personal bias against current or past regimes. This was a great move while giving up nothing. It's pretty simple.

Nucker 67 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Liking what JR/PA are doing here, bringing in some good young players to form that new young core. Miller may be the exception, unless they trade him too? Kuzmenko, Mikheyev and Beauvillier are also nice players to have around, entering their prime. Pettersson Podkolzin Raty Kravtsov Hughes Bear Sure would love to add Bedard or Fantilli to that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted February 25, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2023 "The Canucks have been after 23 year old F Vital Kravtsov for over a year.He falls into that age category that GM Patrik Allvin and President Jim Rutherford have been looking for, players under 25.Today the Canucks finally got Kravtsov after giving up F William Lockwood and a 2026 7th rounder.The Canucks and Rangers have been talking about Kravtsov for around 4 weeks, the original ask was a mid-1st round pick.On Thursday when Kravtsov was pulled out of the Rangers lineup for trade reasons, the Canucks were not close to landing him.In fact Kravtsov agent Dan Milstein was told by the Canucks on Thursday and Friday that the price was too high, sources say the Rangers asked for Nils Hoglander and Vancouver said no.Everything changed today as the Rangers are trying hard to land Patrick Kane and lowered the demand.At this time of year, things change daily and pressure points change as well.Some good work by Alvin to out-wait the Rangers and other teams as well to get a player he has coveted for a while.Milstein says Kravtsov will join the Canucks in Dallas tomorrow." 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
