   Poor guy is losing his hair teaching the team basic minor hockey methods .

   Look, I like the Kravstov gamble, but I remember when everyone here was shitting on people suggesting that we should’ve claimed Tolvanen when he was on waivers, stating that he would’ve cost us a lot, when the price for him was literally free.

   Meanwhile, he’s been scoring at a 25 goal pace ever since landing in Seattle with 15 goals in 44 games.

   Still seems dumb that everyone was fine with paying assets on gambles like Studnicka and Kravstov, but getting arguably a higher ceiling gamble in Tolvanen made “zero sense” for the team.

   Kravtsov on the top line strikes me as truly his final look with the organization. Not because he’ll actually be a winger on that line next year but because if he can’t even show well with Petey then there’s no point in moving forward with him.

   I think Kravtsov has three games to prove he can remain in the NHL. I still think he ends up in the KHL next season.
