Overview

• General manager Patrik Allvin announced the waiver move Thursday morning ahead of practice at UBC, with a claim decision due by 11 a.m. PT.
• Kravtsov is on a one-year, two-way contract reported at a $775,000 NHL cap hit and a $450,000 AHL salary.
• He appeared in two of five preseason games without a point after rejoining from the KHL, where he posted strong production last season with Traktor Chelyabinsk.
• If unclaimed, he is expected to be assigned to the AHL’s Abbotsford Canucks to continue his bid for an NHL return.
• Forward Joe LaBate cleared waivers and was sent to Abbotsford, and the NHL roster lists 16 forwards as practice notes showed Nils Åman skating on defence, Aatu Räty on the wing, and Derek Forbort and Pierre-Olivier Joseph absent.
