Canucks Place Vitali Kravtsov on Unconditional Waivers to Terminate Contract

The 25-year-old departs following a brief AHL stint that did not lead to an NHL role.

Overview

  • Vancouver announced the forward was placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of contract termination, which ends the deal if he goes unclaimed.
  • Kravtsov signed a one-year, $775,000 two-way contract in August after a 58-point KHL season with Traktor Chelyabinsk.
  • He did not make the NHL roster out of camp and logged four points across 10 games with AHL Abbotsford.
  • Local reporter Rick Dhaliwal reported Kravtsov wants to return to Russia on a three-year deal with Traktor, a move that has not been confirmed.
  • The Canucks recently called up other forwards during injury absences, underscoring Kravtsov’s position on the organizational depth chart.
