What do you think of this trade for the Canucks?
Lockwood looked pretty good to me…just needed more time to develop.
Absolutely great deal. A 7th is Damn near nothing, Lockwood didn’t seem to be moving the needle in development, and Kratsov will have a good opportunity to crack the roster here and a pretty wholesome community of other Russian players to help him get adjusted quick. Really happy with the deal
Canucks Win This Trade
4 to 0 bos
Great trade. Low risk, good upside.
Can get Kratsov going by playing him with Petterson!
Spending some time with Marie at the game sounds like a nice evening
I'm a fan.
I don't know anything about John Lockwood. I'm going to look up His Stats now. This is likely A Move For Patrick Kane.
Kravtsov +6 for the limited time he's played speaks volumes. Congrats!
Best Trade Lockwood good speed nothing to show for injured already in 10 games last year almost packed Miller for krastov canucks lost pederson I liked Lockwood good speed nothing to show for
More wings….they got a top 10pick. But man. I wish they would find some defence.
I guess this means the floodgates are about to open. First glance looks like it could be good for the Canucks !!
The reason why he is being traded is because he had asked to be traded.
I felt like we should've had Lunqisk earlier.
I like the trade for the Vancouver Canucks honestly my score prediction for tonight is 6-3 bruin’s because there that good pettersson first goal tonight
This is a steel, I know his future is uncertain next year but we should sign him to a 3 or 4 year bridge deal similar to Kirby Dach, and as well his situation from Chicago and how badly developed he was to now in Montreal and he’s looking like a very key player. I can see this becoming Vitaly Kravtsov in a few years time.
He's a bust. This is for the Hawks.
Yeah, Lockwood would never make it or be a 4th liner and maybe 3rd. Kravtsov has the potential to be a top 6 forward. Even if he doesn't pan out, we didn't lose anything of importance. This is a win for Canucks for sure.

I've been hearing about the idea of the Canucks looking at Kraves for a while now..
Love it great trade
Great trade even if it turns out to be nothhing…
Low risk trade for the Canucks, maybe some upside
Cheers! Enjoy the game. Best to your friend on pulling double anthem duty. That is awesome and I am sure they will do a great job.
Hope this trade pays off for Canucks and the player quickly!
3-2 OT Boston (Why not??!),
Kuzi (Why not?!) 😅
She's doing an amazing job singing the anthems damn
Boston 6
Vancouver 2
First goal for Van will be Garland
Are we not glad we listen to the Vancouver media lol
Canucks have what, 6 Russians now…their shoulder patch should be a hammer with a sickle and the ad on the helmet…Gazprom of course
The rangers wanted höglander, allvin waited drury out… Lockwood did well in Abbotsford this year scoring goals frequently in his last stint. Excellent trade PA/JR, I believe in what this regime is doing. I feel like the avs could target JT Miller next, he is showing that he could take a team like Colorado back to the cup. I can’t see a better Kadri replacement on the market currently. Go Canucks!
I like the trade, and i can see Lockwood getting sent to the minors to clear cap space for the Rangers. VK i feel just needs a fresh start, and with some of the other Russians here, I feel he will be happy. The Rangers just had too much depth in forwards, so he never really had the change to get a fair look at. Here i feel he should play with Miller and Garland on the 2nd line so the Canucks can really have a good look at him.
New second line Kravstov Great trade
I think it opens the door for a Hoglander trade or another prospect.
Suddenly we have a bunch of young players
When Jim Benning heard about this trade he was confused as to why the Canucks didn't have to give up a 2nd round pick.
Mikheyev, Podkolzin, Kuzmenko & Kratsov. We just need to have Michkov in the mix 🤞🏾
After years of seeing Benning losing all the trades he made, it is refreshing to see us winning the Horvat trade and now this! Now just watch us getting Bedard and suddenly we become a Cup contender!
Pretty sure Lockwood is in AHL, so Rangers actually save 800k on cap
