Lockwood had 18 points in 26 games in Abby this year and was one of their most consistent scorers and certainly one of their main impact players. He's a pretty complete, 200ft player. To me it all comes down to his durability. If he can stay healthy and Krav flops, it's a huge win for NYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 You are 100 percent wrong.. Big transition young man coming to North America his English wasn't good and hard for players to fit in ? Did you forget we had Tryamkin and how hard it was for him?? You don't know what your talking about..Don't say Kravtsov is Virtanen???? Your comments are ridiculous,... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a great move while giving up nothing. It's pretty simple. Lockwood is a great player who works his ass off. Krav is nothing but potential with a floater reputation. It's a reasonable gamble, but NYR could just as easily win big on this trade in the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moe Knows Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Really like this trade. Up scale potential on Lockwood and a late round pick in 3 years. Good Stuff !!!! I have a feeling Brock will still be here after March 3....but hope I'm wrong. Thoughts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockwood is a great player for AHL, Vancouver (unfortunately) playing in NHL. This is nothing to compare here, even if Kravy go back to Russia for free, we win this deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could very easily be krav busts, goes back to Russia and Lockwood becomes a solid 3-4th liner who hits and puts up 25-30 points. Again, I don't have an issue with the trade, it's a calculated risk I'm ok with 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliPeterson40 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Kravtsov is giving me Nichuskin vibes, big Russian with skill just needing the right opportunity. Like this move a lot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to be deeper then the Pacific Ocean to get a winner in the 7th round. But then wasn't Honey Badger a 7th round pick? So could happen, but the odds favour us I think!

NHL97OneTimer Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Will be interesting.......size and speed is great but he's never been a big scorer. Just reading that he doesn't throw his weight around neither. So what is he exactly? I think we can appreciate that he's only 23 and only has 50ish NHL games in 3 years under his belt so there's so much unknown here. Pretty low risk overall so I'm happy with this trade.....especially if we were not going anywhere with Lockwood. With that said, landing excellent defensive forwards right now could be really useful and perhaps he can be that presence if the finishing isn't there. I love this move but it's not likely a needle mover for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Lasso Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Love that we don’t have to wait to see him on the big club. Interesting that signing Mikheyev influenced Kuz to join, and likely now Kravtsov. That’s a hell of an ROI for a UFA. Gonchar as the former National Team Coach was also very strategic as both a draw for Russians, and offensive d coach to get the most out of Hughes. Still wrapping my head around getting Kuz, on pace for 45g, for no assets. Basically allowed us to trade another ppg forward for futures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason he's been on three teams and is very young. I mean a dman who can compliment Hughes, so Hughes doesn't have to do all the scoring on the back end. Take some of the pressure off. Bear is a 6th/7th dman on a good team. *sigh* ... my pet peeve: Hughes doesn't need other D-men telling him how great he is, he needs a partner whose playing style complements his. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
