The Vancouver Canucks have placed forward Vitali Kravtsov on waivers, allowing other teams the opportunity to claim him. This move comes as the Canucks assess their roster and make room for potential changes. Kravtsov, a talented winger, has struggled to find consistent ice time this season, which has led to this decision by the management.

Kravtsov, who was a highly touted prospect, has shown flashes of his potential but has not yet managed to secure a steady spot in the lineup. The Canucks hope that he can reclaim his form with the right opportunity, whether it be within the team or with a new franchise that claims him off waivers.

If he goes unclaimed, Kravtsov will likely report to the AHL affiliate, where he can gain valuable playing time and work on his game. The Canucks have been looking to enhance their depth on the wing, and this move signals their willingness to make necessary adjustments as the season progresses.

As the league heads into the busy trade period, all eyes will be on Kravtsov to see if he can adapt and find a new home, or if he will remain with the Canucks to prove himself in the coming games.
