The Russian from the “Rangers” was called a global talent

MOSCOW, June 15 Russian striker Vitaly Kravtsov is a global talent, said Chris Drury, general manager of the National Hockey League (NHL) New York Rangers, Chris Drury. On Sunday, the club from New York signed a unilateral one-season contract with the 22-year-old hockey player. «I don't think we've ever backed down from position that he is a world-class talent.He does a lot of things on the ice that a lot of people can't…Like everyone else, your game determines where you end up.But we are definitely happy to have him again with us,” journalist Vince Mercogliano quotes Drury on Twitter. Kravtsov, drafted by the New York team in 2018 in the first round under the ninth overall number, went to play in the United States for the third time. In 2019, he signed a three-year contract with the Rangers. In the 2019/20 season, he failed to gain a foothold in the first team and played 39 games in the Blueshirts farm club in the American Hockey League (AHL), where he scored 15 points (6 goals + 9 assists), after which he returned on loan in the Chelyabinsk «Tractor», which is a pupil. Kravtsov started the 2020/21 season at Traktor, but left for the United States again in April, where he played 20 games for the Rangers and scored 4 points (2+2).
