On March 3, 2004 Kondratjew was given by the Toronto Maple Leafs to their league rivals New York Rangers , but remained until the end of the season without being used in their organization.

With the HK Lada, the Russian national player was runner-up at the end of the season and only had to admit defeat to HK Dynamo Moscow with his team in the playoff final . At the beginning of the following season he was able to fight for a regular place in the NHL team of the New York Rangers, but was given on January 8, 2006 in exchange for the Czech Petr Sýkora and a four-round vote for the NHL Entry Draft 2007 to the Anaheim Ducks .

Since he could not prevail at Anaheim, he returned for the 2006/07 season back to HK Lada Tolyatti. The following year the Ducks brought him back to California. However, there was only a short guest appearance of four point and punishment-free NHL missions before he finally stayed in Russia. For the rest of the season he defended for SKA Saint Petersburg in the Super League.
