I think the Rangers like him. He was captain of their Traverse City team. So I do suspect and expect he will be signed.

Ronning will get a contract, they just have other priorities now. He's not a "sexy" prospect like Tom Renney used to say. He's improving which is great. If he can be half the player his father was, it's win.
Morgan Barron apparently had two assists in an exhibition game for Cornell. He's a very long term project to keep an eye on. Great size. If he can have the same kind of trajectory Anders Lee did for the Islanders, all the better.

All of our prospects have now seen regular season action except Pedrie, who is apparently injured, and Barron, who has only played exhibition games.
Tyler Wall is off to an awful start by the way. 0-3-0 with a GAA of 4.50 and SV% of .833. They had a freshman play one game and he did great. Hopefully Wall turns it around next weekend or else he'll be at risk for losing his starting position.

I agree, I think he'll get a contract at some point next spring. They had other players they wanted in Hartford and not too many slots for rookies. Also next year 3-4 elc slots could open up with Stromwall, Fogarty, Gilmore and Chapie probably gone and also recent loss of Kovac's. The amount of contracts slots does play a part as well.

Fogarty I'm suspecting will get another shot. The others probably not.
I definitely think the Rangers liked what Ronning did at the tail end of last year in Hartford but I don't think they ever looked at him as a serious candidate for this year's Hartford team. They had just too many bodies for one thing. Hartford lost it's three most productive forwards from last year but Gorton brought in a bunch of players to more than adequately replace that lost offense. Whitney did not have a good year last year but he and Schneider and Carey (Puempel) were big additions--proven 1st line level AHL forwards. The additions of DeSalvo and Kosmachuk provide secondary offense. Add in Lettieri and Gropp and the maturing of Nieves and Tambellini. The offense is better and much more well rounded group. Ronning would have been very hard pressed to win a spot.
Hey man, Chapie had 5 points in his first two games for the Swamp Rabbits this weekend. Don't write him off. LOL.
Also I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Stromwall gone mid-season. He's not going to want to play the year in the ECHL. I suspect he works on getting out of his contract, if his agent isn't doing so already. He can find a spot in Allsvenskan or possibly even the SHL, which would be highly preferable for a Swedish kid (you'd think) to farting around in Greenville.
Agree with NYR2k2 about Stromwell. I was surprised he even came back this year. Regarding Ronning he is the only prospect the Rangers have to sign by the June 1 deadline. There is plenty of room to sign him with Stromwell and Chapie gone next year. I think it is likely that Gilmour is gone but I am going to see the wolfpack in two weeks in Hershey and will let you know after that game if I still think he is gone. Rangers also will have to decide on Matt Puempel and David Catenacci who will be RFA. Since Catenacci reportedly almost didn't come back for this year and already is being scratched he likely is gone as well. So even with Day, Gettinger and probably Anderson counting next year the Rangers still have room to play with under the 50 cap limit.
Interesting story about Ronning. This summer we took our grandkids to the Canadian Rockies. While in Jasper National Park I was wearing a Ranger shirt when I walked to the bus. Our bus driver was talking to another bus driver from the same company but on a different tour. Our bus driver, with whom I had been talking hockey says to other driver, "Here is the Rangers fan." The other bus driver was wearing a Vancouver Giants jacket but I didn't immediately make the connection. He is the bus driver for the Giants. When he saw my Rangers shirt he asked if he could take a picture and send it to Ty Ronning. He assured me everything we have heard about Ronning being a great kid and a team leader is more than true. It's not a coincidence that Ronning was named captain at Traverse City as Eco Bones reminds us. Unless Ronning really stinks this year he is a lock for a contract. Rangers probably waiting until the day -- I think it is January 1 -- when they can sign him to a 2018-2019 contract.

Here's my opinion on Ronning and why he seems to be such a good prospect. His dad was in the NHL. It sounds cliche, but think about it. Same with Lias Andersson. They were around NHL players and staff as kids. They know what is going on at that level, within the organizations. They have the support from a parent who knows what it takes. That is a huge advantage for those kids. Ronning being a leader, in my opinion, is the result of being around pro-athletes as a kid. It might be severely underestimated by some, but I feel it is a huge plus.

No, it won't do anything skill-wise but it certainly helps mentally. And in that post I quoted it was mentioned that he is a leader on the team and was named captain at Traverse. That's definitely helped along by his background

Patrik Virta scored his third and led his team in TOI (among forwards) with 21:13. He now has 3-7-10 in 14.
Tarmo Reunanen didn't play again for I believe the third consecutive game. Barring an injury that I haven't read about, it looks like he has lost his spot in the lineup.
As is being discussed in his thread, Lias Andersson currently has two goals, his first two points of the season.
Dominik Lakatos was scoreless again. Rough start for him, for sure.

Any video on the Lias goals?
Been using HF on mobile for some time & it's kinda tough when not on a laptop.
