In the last few seconds, obviously in preparation for the acquisition of Patrick Kane and to make room under the salary cap, the New York Rangers traded (gave?) young Vitali Kravtsov to the Vancouver Canucks.
See the full trade.
To the Vancouver Canucks
- Vitali Kravtsov (RW)
To the New York Rangers
- William Lockwood (RW) - 2026 7th round pick
This puts an end to the many speculations involving Kravtsov, Jeff Gorton and the Montreal Canadiens.
More details will follow.
Would you have given that much to the Rangers to bring Kravtsov to Montreal?
