On Tuesday, November 4, Vancouver Canucks general manager, Patrik Allvin, announced that the organization's former ninth-overall pick, Vitali Kravtsov, has been placed on unconditional waivers.
Allvin's purpose of this move was of terminating Kravtsov's contract.
This was revealed by the Vancouver Canucks' official social media page on "X".

He was originally selected ninth-overall by the Rangers in the 2018 NHL Draft, and has endured 64 NHL games over three season of his career, accumulating six goals and six assists.
