The Vancouver Canucks have placed forward Vitali Kravtsov on waivers. Vancouver also sent Joseph LaBate down to the AHL after he cleared waivers on Monday. If cleared, Kravtsov will most likely be assigned to the Abbotsford Canucks in order to join their ongoing training camp. 

Kravtsov returned to the Canucks organization this off-season after two years in the KHL. During his time away, the 25-year-old recorded 92 points in 121 games while playing for Traktor Chelyabinsk. This pre-season, Kravtsov played two games but failed to register a point. 

As for LaBate, he was noticeable throughout the pre-season. In four games, he recorded one assist while dropping the gloves twice. Like Kravtsov, this is LaBate's second time with the organization, as he was drafted by Vancouver 101st overall in 2011.
