Rangers Prospect Ranking: (Winter 2024) - #4

[Harbour Dog]

Last WJC I assume? He was awful, first WJC many people considered him the biggest surprise of the tournament whilst being the youngest player there other than Beniers. He looked like Jack Hughes with the attitude of Matthew Tkachuk. He is the only player in our entire system who I’d say is an elite skater

Both. Maybe like 4 from his 1st, and 3 from his 2nd, can't say for sure. He definitely looked better in the 1st one, but it's less about Berard and more about Sykora me.

No trouble seeing a path for Berard to become a bottom6 energy guy; he's well on his way. Sykora is just on the exact same path, at the exact same point, but with a two year head start. That is massive.

Sykora is maybe a safer bet (maybe) but I like Berard's offensive upside.

Kinda surprised to see Berard with votes over Sykora. Sykora is basically a younger, better version of Berard with more size and IMO has a much higher chance of making the NHL.

Berard drives play. Sykora is a good counter player.
I value one more than the other though both are important.

Gotcha, i just don’t see Berard being a play driver at the pro level. If he makes the NHL IMO he is going to have to play game similar to Sykora.
