BREAKING: Vitali Kravstov Has Been Traded to a Surprising Team
Per Elliotte Friedman, Vitali Kravstov has been traded to the Vancouver Canucks.
Kravstov Heads to Vancouver
This is a big step in two different files - the Vancouver Canucks' in-progress rebuild, and the Rangers clearing cap space for Patrick Kane.
What This Means
This is especially surprising considering we thought that Kravstov would be headed to Chicago in the Patrick Kane trade.
Kravstov will be joining a young team full of Russians, including Vasily Podkolzin and Andrei Kuzmenko. He should be a great fit there.
We will update this story as more news comes out.
