On Sports Final last night, the excited about being in NY, Kravtsov surely sounded like he already loved NY, and wants to come here ASAP.

that would be great, get him out of the KHL ASAP, the Rangers need control over his development

That would have been me had the Rangers had passed on Zadina. Except times the anger level by a billion.

Hell, he might make the team if he's even close to ready physically.

I was watching the draft with TJ and standing just like that in front of TV for Rangers pick expecting it to be Wahlstrom

definitely Zadina

Imagine what's going to happen when the hold on to Karlsson, intend to deal him before the trade deadline, and he gets hurt.

As soon as the pundits started talking about the Ranger spending a lot of time in Russia, I knew it was going to be him.

I hate how they announce what city/team/country they are from before saying the name. Once he starting mumbling random places I had no idea what he was talking about I knew it was from Russia

Once he sees Marc Staal, he's gonna jet right back to Vladivostok.

Funny, the Kravtsov pick didn't make me angry at all. But, I did say to myself immediately that the Islanders just lucked out big time.

Meh, Tkachuk and Kravtsov will be fine. Hayton, Wise and Foudy might not be.

Why Wise? He went in the 2nd? 3rd?

I was over it fairly quickly. Still over it. You just have your heart set on someone and it’s goes kaput. Day 2 lost me tho big time, but I’m very happy with the first rd

It's funny, but I think Day 2 just comes down to the second round pick for most people. I mean, let's be honest, once we get into Round 3 we really don't know much, and you just have to leave it up the scouts to pick the players that they think our best. So, the Rangers draft some unknown goalie (at least to us) when there are some known commodities on the board who were mentioned as first rounders, and it pisses us off.

If the Rangers drafted Wilde, Thomas, McLeod, etc, there, nobody would give a rat's ass about rounds 3-7.

Rangers GM Jeff Gorton said he has already spoken to a number of pending UFAs and is active in that process. He said the expectation is to provide opportunity for the young guys next season, but the hope is to bring in some "character players" that can show them the ropes.
