    Krapsoft's game does not work in the NHL he was given lots of chances and sucked on every shift.

  4. Ely Pevets

    Ever since the Russians arrived here the team has been in the tank. Now another one. Let's load up with Finns instead along with more Canadians.

  7. Kieran Mcgovern

    You'rE assignment is pretty amazing. This is essentially a fair value trade. Kravtsov will go back to Russia as soon as he is assigned to the AHL, which will be anywhere from 1 to 5 games in… He'll get hurt if he plays those five games.

    Enjoy your date. Don't get snowed in… or maybe it'll be a good thing 😉 Is she also on Team Tank? lol

  17. Rich Barone

    Great trade for the Canucks. You always want "potential" on a rebuilding team. Good luck. I would not be surprised to see him score on a consistent basis against the Rangers in the future. Lol.

  20. Biff Strong

    Why is Vancouver taking Kravtsov?
    Seems like a guy destined to flunk out of the NHL.
    Doesn't cost anything.
    William Lockwood? So Kravtsov for nothing.
    tttttttttttttttt

    Good Luck on the date.

  21. Matt Brooks

    I'm proud of you…. a hockey game after your date…. that's the way to do it kid…. don't rush into anything and leave her wanting more. (Most morons your age would be hoping for a meaningless post dinner experience and end up disappointed with the outcome or if successful the young lady) good job if you think things are not moving fast enough, slow down… be a man. Not many your age.

  23. Jim K

    the last game i saw Kravtsov play for NYR, the opponent's were squishing his head and body against the boards.

  25. Bijan Ravanbakhsh

    good luck on your date. make sure the breath is fresh, breath mints. and whatever you do, don't talk as fast as you do when you're wrapping up your videos… and bye!!

  27. Jordan Streib

    Honestly I'd like to see Canucks make trade with wpg not for ofc our top prospects. But guys like chibrikov,zhilkin, kuzmin,rashevsky could be given more of a shot of Abbotsford or Vancouver instead of here where we have Wagner,Torgersson, Salomonsson, Chisholm, Reichel,nikkanen,Gustafson, Lambert,Mcgroarty, Lucius and heinola all ahead of them.

    And if Canucks don't get Bedard/Fantilli
    Can still get alot of prospects I like ex michkov,benson,Yager,Dvorsky, Danielson,Heidt, Dragicevic,sawchyn. And goalies like bjarnson,milic,Augestine,suchanek,Ernst,ratzlaff.

  28. Paul Matthews

    The best part…..he’s closer to Russia, where he will be in the KHL next season. Lol. Actually I wished he worked out with the Rangers. He’s got a ton of talent and just needs the time to play and develop. He should get that in Van. I know he was a pain and a baby for us, but hopefully that won’t happen for you guys

  30. Indigo Herz

    Wow Dhaliwhal reporting that the original ask was mid first round pick then dropped to Hoglander and then dropped to Lockwood + 7th pick. Great patience.

  31. Arlo Fleenor

    Good luck on your date man!!! it's gonna go really awesome i have a feeling. you are a charming guy just be yourself! keep up the great work on the channel as well.

  32. Aariz

    Damn, Lind, Gadjovich and Lockwood all gone but Kratsov is a huge win. Good luck on the date Lego so proud

  35. Thomas Leaf

    Glad Kravtsov finally got traded, he's better off as it just wasn't working in NYR. He's a talented kid, gave it his best but it was clear he just wasn't going to break in to regular Top 6 and PP minutes.

  36. James Kütney

    So when are they gonna have “Russian Pride Night” at Rogers Arena? I mean players could come out wearing the ol Red Army jersey’s in warm up, you know, out of respect and everything. Putin could give us a zoom chat on the big screen, that’d be fun
