So Andersson is gonna be Bergeron and Chytil is the next Kopitar. Glad were keeping our expectations in check after one game.

There was a play where he was carrying the puck in the Caps' zone and used his back and rear end to shield the puck. Was a Jagr-like move.

Honestly I could see Chytil rounding out to a more Corey Perry type of player. But with more speed.

He has the same Czech-baby-face thing going on like Jagr lol.

He's not playing with confidence. End of the season is probably the best thing for him. Come back in the fall. And Skjei too, aside from brief flashes.

I see more of a Kopitar/Malkin hybrid on the rush, more Messier in the corners.

What competitiveness? When have we seen Buch the warrior? This guy has a lot of work to do this summer imo. I’m very disappointed with the way he’s played particularly since the deadline when given more responsibility.

I want to see him get a little stronger (physically) and I want to see him with a different coach before I make any further assessment. He's been good, his ceiling is definitely higher than what we see.
Personally for me the future is
Zibanejad Chytil Howden down the middle
Kreider Andersson Buchnevich Fast Spooner Vesey for wings
Namestnikov Lettieri Ronning maybes
Hayes not this year but at some point when Howden develops, and he will develop, very high on that kid, may be dealt. Zucc dealt.
And then will be interesting to see what we add at the draft.
If we go D I want Bouchard boqvist Wilde probably in that order. If it’s a forward I’m just holding out hope for one of the top 2/3 picks so we can grab svechnikov or Zadina either would be a tremendous addition up front. I’m not crazy about any other forward in the top 15.
I like Martin Kaut towards the end of the first round early second.

Rangers future on D
And like a Lidstrom in the defensive zone... a St. Louis in the locker room, Stewart in the kitchen...
Chytil looked dangerous everytime he had the puck. Hopefully he can keep that up because it's something the Rangers have lacked for a long time. LA looked as advertised and that's not a bad thing.
All the mixing and matching led to a confused Rangers team in the first period that grew more comfortable in their roles as the game went on. If we can scratch that first period it actually looks like a decent Rangers team minus the defense.
The defense does scare the hell out of me though. We need one of our new and improved D prospects to step up next season to help solidify the D situation because Pionk looks like the only NHL Defenseman we have out of this group. And he still has quite some development to go through to get past Shattenkirk. That #1 RD situation is looking awful right about now and we don't have A McD caliber player to carry a mediocre D to #1 RD status.

Down the middle going forward Chytil, Zibby,Hayes and Howden when he’s ready
Wings Kreider,Andersson,Fast,Vesey,Namestnikov (Zucc?)
Defense
ADA,Pionk,Skjei,Shatty.
For next season we need to fill 1 fourth line center spot, 3-4 wingers, and 3 defensive positions
Traded or otherwise gone in the offseason
Spooner
Buchnevich
Staal
Lettieri
Gilmour
Ogara
Pavelic

Rangers future on D
Too soon to tell with him. In November, he looked like the next Tarasenko. I think a lot of those guys, especially when young, being in a different world, freeze up when they lose confidence. They try not to let on, which makes it look like they don't care.
RangerBoy
Dolan sucks!!!
I like the Sean Couturier comparable for Chytil. Someone made that comparison in the Athletic last fall. Chytil still has room to fill out that big frame. Maybe Barkov. A big strong center. Barkov is a horse. I am not saying Chytil will be Barkov as far as production.
Andersson. Bo Horvat.
Andersson. Bo Horvat.
Ha! Lol, NEVER!
Maybe the best post Mike.
The guys that say we're getting a "little ahead" of ourselves are absolutely right. The hell of it is is that all of us are right to be sky high about these kids right now. I'm sure there at least a few longtime Rangers fans who wonder when we will get a gut punch for our sins of optimism, but you have to be excited right now. I can't remember the last time I felt this excited from what I saw two teenagers do on the ice in our colors.
RangerBoy
Dolan sucks!!!
Dahlin or Hughes is Brian Leetch. Lidstrom has already said Dahlin’s skating ability reminds him of a Leetch. Hughes is another great skating D. Either one is fine. Some Rangers nostalgia.
Vinny DeAngelo
Jimmy Easy to defend
Yea buchnevich is the problem on the team..
