When he was drafted, he was compared to Kuznetsov for his skill and edgy play. The only reason he was around at the Rangers pick was said to be the Russian factor. He's 6'3", plays a bit of a power game, has skill, and skates very well. Very hard to knock off the puck. This is the kind of prospect we are sorely lacking, but as stated above, he needs some seasoning.

I think we're undervaluing Kravtsov a bit. I would be nervous to give up Zary, but if the opportunity to grab this kid comes along, I think you have to look at it.
