Sujet: Dont Dump Prospects for Minimal Value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>I don't disagree with the thought of holding onto a guy instead of selling low. My only thought here, just re: Kravtsov-If Gallant wasn't willing to play him this year, when there was clearly a need at RW coming into the season, is it any more likely that he plays him next year, and if so, what's the motivation for Gallant to try to boost his trade value? He's always been a coach that (sometimes to a fault) rewards the players that are good teammates/work hard/etc.

Maybe I'm way off though.</div></div>

If Kravtsov hadn't had such a poor attitude and had reported to Hartford, this current situation wouldn't be taking place. As a matter of fact, he would have probably been the 1st option when Blais went down.

Him pouting and heading back to the KHL (where he couldn't be called back) was the reason he no longer became an option. Add to the fact that Goodrow is clicking on the 3rd line, along with the acquisition of Copp and Vatrano, as well as the hope that Kakko can get healthy. There is no reason for him to be around now.

Between him hopefully maturing more heading into next Season (in multiple ways) at a time when smaller Contracts are needed, it makes him an intriguing option again. And since his stock took a hit, it allows other teams to know what he really is (good or bad) for a possible Trade.
