The Vancouver Canucks have placed forward Vitali Kravtsov on unconditional waivers, aiming to terminate his contract. This move comes just months after Kravtsov signed with the Canucks, hoping for a strong comeback in North America.
Kravtsov’s journey with the Canucks was brief. He failed to secure a spot on the main roster during training camp and was placed on waivers before the regular season even began. Sent down to the Abbotsford Canucks, Kravtsov’s performance in the AHL was underwhelming, with just one goal and three assists in 10 games.
A former ninth overall pick by the New York Rangers, Kravtsov was acquired by the Canucks in 2023 with high expectations. However, his scoring struggles continued, managing only eight points in 44 games during the 2022-23 season. Despite finding success in the KHL with Traktor Chelyabinsk, Kravtsov’s NHL career has been less impressive, with just 12 points in 64 appearances.
Join us as we delve into the reasons behind this unexpected waiver and the potential impact on Kravtsov’s future in the NHL.
