Prospect Info: 2023-2024 Rangers Prospects Thread (Prospect Stats in Post #1; Updated 04.29.2024)

[Amazing Kreiderman]

would laba be an UFA in 2025? his first eligible draft year was 2021.

No, 2026. This upcoming year is his junior year. Players in the NCAA become UFA when they leave college and don't sign with the team that drafted them. That would be on August 15th of that year.

Henricks/Muskegon won deciding game 5 in 2OT
hadn't noticed before, but Larsson was not in lineup for game 4, or game 5

I thought both players had potential when we drafted them, but neither has distinguished himself in the USHL.

 

[noncents]

is pageau a decent berard comp?

Does Berard play center? Bad comparison. Can't compare a player with another player that doesn't play the same position.

 

[eco's bones]

They're both long term projects and they both start college next year and it's probably going to take them a couple years anyway to become important players on their respective teams....that's if they do at all. They both have size and I remember Henricks being one of the stars in the first scrimmage of the post draft development camp. He scored two goals. If I remember he was one of the youngest players taken in last year's draft. Larsson OTOH was taken in his second year of eligibility.

Yeah, Henricks' showing in the development camp was one of the reasons I had hopes for him, but he hasn't had the growth statistically this year that I was hoping for. As you said, he's still really young, so he has time to figure it out.

Yes, you can. If you make stylistic comparisons, it doesn't matter what position they play.

 

[GAGLine]

Berard and Pageau can absolutely be compared, but it requires a more nuanced analysis than simply suggesting that they are similar. In what ways are they similar? In what ways do they differ? We can't determine if one player is a good comparison for another unless we break each player down and compare like to like. Skating, vision, IQ, toughness, compete level, size, attitude, etc.

Is Pageau a good comparison for Berard? I have no idea. They are both smaller players, but that's just the low-hanging fruit. I would need to actually watch Pageau and identify his strengths and weaknesses to make a valid comparison between them.

 

[noncents]

the idea for berard pageau comp is: smaller players, speedy, strong for their size with good understanding of how to use inside position to possess the puck and create turnovers, unafraid of the corners and especially of net front, enough skill to score from the dots in, good IQ/understanding of the game but not great vision, good instincts for finding pockets of open ice, PP2 ceiling potential, generally a pest, in scrums and around the net, elite compete.

Yeah. Have no problem comparing Gabe Perrault with Fox. Because despite playing completely different positions, their elite skills are in the same areas.

 

[Hodes42]

I was looking at OHL stats and saw that the 4th heaviest player is Sam Alfano. I remember seeing him on the training camp roster but my crummy search skills haven’t been able to turn up much Ranger-related. Is he still in the system?

He was just a camp invite. He was never drafted/signed by the Rangers.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Oshawa wins second game 3-0 to take a 2-0 lead. No points for Roebroeck.

 

[GAGLine]

Roobroeck with an assist in a 5-2 win. Oshawa leads the series 3-0. Game 4 is Wednesday.

Seems a pretty easy playoff run for Oshawa this year.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Seems a pretty easy playoff run for Oshawa this year.

They were the top team in their conference (barely, North Bay was right behind them so them being up 3-0 is a bit of a surprise.)

London is a heavy favorite to win the O. They just lost their first game of the playoffs tonight and lead their series 2-1.

[Amazing Kreiderman]

We won the trade because we had a backup goalie that wanted to be a starter and got 3 picks that were used on 3 prospects rather than losing Georgiev for nothing.

 

[NYR Viper]

The trade can work out for both teams. It doesn't need to be a win/lose or black/white ending. Colorado got a suitable starter at a reasonable cap hit. The Rangers got (3) picks for a back-up goalie who has some screws loose.

It worked out

Yeah. This has win-win potential. I just don't see Georgiev lasting very long in Colorado because he's already involved in multiple shouting matches, and his performance is so-so.
