What could the NY Rangers get for Vitali Kravtsov?
Kevin Weekes: Could the New York Rangers get a third-round pick or a prospect for forward Vitali Kravtsov?
Vince Z. Mercogliano: The Rangers could look for another young forward that could use a change of scenery. Vancouver Canucks forward Nils Hoglander could be someone to keep an eye on. Hoglander may be of more value to the Rangers than a third-round pick.
NHL Rumors: The Oilers and Karlsson, and Vitali Kravtsov asking for a trade
Vince Z. Mercogliano: Don’t know if the Canucks would want to do that type of deal. Just the idea of another ‘developing forward with upside’ as opposed to a draft pick.
The Rangers could also wait until the offseason to move him.
There’s a chance you can get Vitali Kravtsov for a 3rd round draft pick or a prospect per @KevinWeekes. Actually, it’s absolutely worth it. Kravtsov has been very good defensively and he has much higher potential to become a legit NHL player than the other 98% of 3rd rounders. pic.twitter.com/8zi6aQcv87

Blues forward Ivan Barbashev is getting trade interest
Kevin Weekes: St. Louis Blues pending UFA forward Ivan Barbashev is getting interest. The Blues might be able to get a first-round pick or a second-round pick and a prospect for him.
He carries an affordable $2.6 million cap hit, and if the Blues retain some salary, they could get an even better return.
Andy Strickland: Believe the Blues would be interested in re-signing Barbashev. It appears that he’s wanting to play in the playoffs and doesn’t appear to have an interest in signing a contract extension with the Blues before the trade deadline.
Andy Strickland: Barbashev has probably generated the most interest of any Blues player. The Bruins are among the teams interested.
NHL Rumors: St. Louis Blues trade tiers, Ivan Barbashev, and Ryan O’Reilly
Steve Conroy: Ivan Barbashev is the kind of player the Boston Bruins could use. doesn’t like him for a first-round or a second-round and a prospect though. The Bruins don’t have a second pick this year.
Blues forward Noel Acciari would be nice for the Bruins. Arizona Coyotes Nick Bjugstad would be a nice addition.
As we said week ago, Ivan Barbashev from the St. Louis Blues is playing his best career-season, but we wouldn’t trade a 1st round draft pick for him. He’d be solid middle-six rental forward. pic.twitter.com/kwe0CdVHML
