Relaunching Around the Farm: Kravtsov plays well in Traktor loss

It’s been six years since I’ve last run an Around The Farm. For those who weren’t around then, this is another little tribute to River Ave Blues (with the Fan Confidence Poll), and tracks the prospects playing around the world. Given the number of players the Rangers are sending on loan, this seemed like the best time to relaunch it.

To gather the information, I reached out to Stat Boy Steven, whom you should all be following on Twitter. Only the KHL is in its regular season at the moment, and only Vitali Kravtsov played, with Traktor in the KHL. This will be a (mostly) daily post that will have more substance as the rest of the leagues kick off. When the CHL leagues kick off, they will be added too.

Here’s when the rest of the leagues start their regular seasons:

Players loaned out to the KHL and SHL are likely to stay there for the season. Meanwhile the other seasons, save for Extraliga, have later start dates, meaning these could be shorter loans before the NHL camp starts. I will be intrigued to see how long the Rangers keep Hajek in the Czech Republic.

One interesting omission is Tarmo Reunanen, whom the Rangers did not loan out. More on that another day.
