Quoting: aecliptic
I believe the word I used was "potential", and yes hes showing hes got all the tools to be exactly that, will it happen I dont know, thats why I say potential.
So packaging Jones with Kravtsov (who, I think could be pretty good but has failed to this point at a North American pro level) is the kicker to get Turcotte? Come on.
Everyone has “potential” but even with Fox incredible first NHL season, top-10 is franchise level potential which as much as I would like to, don’t see Fox have!
Kravtsov is still a A-level prospect despite AHL struggle (many seems to struggle in Hartford so I feel it’s more the organization rather then players)
It’s easier to rate North American players as the better prospects when they shine against their own piers while Europeans goes against full grown men
I wanna use one example, Raphael Lavoie. Couldn’t crack the SHL roster with Rögle and is currently playing in Swedish 2nd tier with Väsby (bottom team)
The point i wanna make here is that put Europeans and North Americans against the same opponents and players like Kravtsov would be closer in value among fans to North American prospects like Turcotte
Now don’t take this as me saying Kravtsov is worth Turcotte alone, repeat: Kravtsov is not worth Turcotte alone!
