The Vancouver Canucks stepped up Saturday and got themselves a good young player. Acquiring forward Vitali Kravtsov from the New York Rangers, in return the Rangers received prospect Will Lockwood, and a 7th round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.
The 23-year-old wasn't happy in New York having asked for a trade, due to lack of playing time that was also hurting his development. However, this shouldn't be a problem anymore. Kravtsov is going to get all the opportunity he can ask for in Vancouver.
