Dylan McIlrath

McIlrath would very likely be an NHL''re already on a handful of other clubs. Not necessarily a good one, but we have the luxury of.giving him the time he needs.

Just saying.

To.... Leave as a UFA?

Glass is 31 years old. He's played in the NHL and a 22 year old hasn't, therefore he's "better?" And what can that even mean talking about a d-man who hasn't played in the NHL yet and a winger who has played a ton and consistently shown himself to be a complete liability? Just an insane comparison, and I'm starting to become as disappointed as anybody with Mac's development.

This is in no way worse than Jessiman. Every first rounder has potential when they're drafted, that's why they're first round picks. Jessiman was chosen over countless players who went on to become huge franchise players, and who's careers could have been easily predicted to be what they have been, at least as far as any prospect's career can be predicted. McI was chosen over arguably one obvious player who has become a franchise player so far, and that's Tarasenko.

For the millionth time, Dylan was thought to have the potential to be a solid player by many, many teams and scouts. It wasn't the Rangers choosing a guy who was supposed to go in the fifth because he was tough. Sometimes players don't work out, even 10 overall picks. You'd think this is completely unprecedented the way some people react.

Relax. All I'm saying is that until McIlrath plays more than a couple of games in the NHL you can't say McIlrath is better.

Dude will sink or swim in the NHL next season, and either be a bottom 4 guy here or be traded for a 3rd or something.

Just not a prospect to be excited about unfortunately.

If the Rangers believe in him, then next year he'll be a 7th D since he has to go through waivers. Discipline has been an issue for him this year.

Much more consistent this year than last, but he has moments where he goes out of his way to prove his toughness and takes bad penalties.

The other issue is just how quickly he moves the puck. Off the boards yeah, he's got that down. But that transition game? It's got to become more crisper.
