As I do not believe that the Rangers will be drafting high enough to get someone like Powers, Clarke, Beniers, Guenther or Johnson, Pastujov is my realistic pick in the mid-first round. Or possibly Raty makes for a value pick as well. Like Tuomalla a lot.
Lmao imagine. Rangers need the center pretty bad but having Power and Kandre in the top 4 for the next decade. Would prob put the fear of God into most teams
Could Raty move from Winger to Center? I don't know much about draft prospects.
I do not like to bet on anyone moving from position to position.
I'm actually now confused, one site, thehockeywriters.com has Raty listed as a C, but I thought he was more of a LW. I'm so confused on what's the best draft site to use, any recommendations, cause I can't find one. Thanks in advance.
If the Rangers are at 10 and he is at 5, it is probably not happening either.
I don’t think you penalize Beniers for not being a sure thing 1C. There isn’t a sure fire 1C in this draft. Beniers though has the best chance at being a 2C that can play up if necessary. He’s my top player in the draft.
There is no doubt he has the potential, but going to be honest that I feel that Power, Clarke and Wallstedt wind up being better players.
Wallstedt might but taking another goalie...yikes. Would need the board to fall a certain way
Rangers will not be 10, we’ll be around 1-5 worst teams easily
Drafting around 10, no problem in taking Wallstedt. That sets up the franchise for success for next 10-15 years, between the defense and goal.
Or not. My bet that Zbad eventually will start to score and not have among the league's lowest shooting percentage. Which can also be said for the entire team.
You are only landing them if they are top-5. And there is no trading to get there for the Rangers. Even if you were to believe that Gorton would trade more established assets for futures, the teams that will be drafting there are probably looking to acquire more prospects as opposed to more contracts.
