I really hope they know what they’re doing
If he doesn’t report and we have no second round pick that could be bad

Another forward with the 3rd round pick in Cameron Mercer from Barrie. Played up with the minor midget team in his major bantam year and had 20 points in 35 games.
I would assume they know something we don’t. With no 2nd round pick you can’t miss in the 1st round.
Just a side note: Erie took Terrance at 10 so he was never an option for the Rangers
Rangers pick a big D man in Matthew Andonovski in the 4th round. I expect he will get a spot as a 16 year old, along with Cameron Mercer. Both picks in round 5 as well as round 6 are Americans, so maybe one or two of them report and earn a spot too.
Edit: 5th round pick Dylan McFadden is Canadian but played in Buffalo. Ryan Fine is also committed to NTDP so we won't see him in camp

Round 5
Dylan McFadden – Forward – Buffalo Jr. Sabres 15U
A dual citizen who used to play with the Niagara North Stars before switching to the Buffalo Jr. Sabres program a few years ago. McFadden is quite small (last listed at 5'6), but he is highly skilled and led the Jr. Sabres in scoring this season.
Round 5 Ryan Fine - Mid Fairfield Rangers (15U AAA)
Ryan has the upside to be an excellent scoring line forward in the Ontario Hockey League if he can eventually be signed. Intelligent hockey player that plays with a ton of pace and gets into the holes offensively. He finds the right lanes and shows a high level of hockey IQ. Ryan reads the ice very well, knows what to do on the PP, and uses his combination of movement, speed, quickness, and agility to create dynamic offense. One of the best 2005 DOB first strike offensive forwards in North America.

Which has to make you wonder....is Schmidt going to be a Ranger? Or an OA in the works?

Got to be an OA or an import in the works. 4 D signed going into next season, didn’t pick one until the 4th round this year and only one legit option from last years draft in Fegaras. They’ll have a young D core with LeBlanc, Fegaras and Andonovski, so I’m hoping they add an OA and replace Dickerson to help shore up that D core

Schmidt is done his USDP commitment and likely goes in the 3rd round which a least puts coming here (vs BU) to a decision. He's a big, compelling d-man but apparently didn't develop quite as much as expected in the USDP and a year or so on the bench at BU won't help. Here's hoping he's drafted well and playing in the OHL gets strongly advocated.
Indeed, Rehkopf is bound by a USHL tender which makes him a real 'flyer' in the 1st round (IMO) so MM must either exclusively know the Muskegon deal is soft or he's confident enough to be backstopped by a comp 1st & some trading rights windfall to help the cupboard for 2022??

I dont think they are. Saginaw's Tbone Codd signed a tender with Youngstown and then Saginaw a couple of weeks later.

It’s a signed contract for a ‘guaranteed play’ rookie roster spot & is highly coveted (eg. Adam Fantilli) … even in Muskegon
Always a way for a minor to renege but it's extremely rare in a rookie season and play elsewhere requires obtaining a USHL release. Brendan Lemieux did it after a few weeks but wasn't an OHL 1st rounder and I'm not aware of another 1st round rookie reneging without playing a full season, though I could be wrong ??Seems like a stretch for MM to land Rehkopf after a couple interviews like this but maybe we'll see him do one of these in a Ranger jersey ->
Vukojevic came over here half way through his 1st season in the USHL.

Indeed though Vuko wasn't tendered (only 2 players were in 2017!) and was our 2nd round pick ... albeit the real gem in our draft between Greyson Ladd & Matt Gordon!
Jake Henderson (9th round) was tendered by Omaha way back when and eventually came here

Ladd served his purpose for us nicely I thought, brought in Brown and McEneny ?at least

Agreed - both the dearth of all-in trades we did & our playoff run that season were exciting; here's hoping that we're back to that level before long. Interesting retrospective, on the Windsor side, including the eventual utilization of the supplementary picks -> https://thehockeywriters.com/spitfires-logan-brown-trade-2-years-later/

I'm sort of on the "disagree" side on this one. True, it was some of the most exciting hockey that we saw in recent years. But in the end, we only got to the semi final. When you are giving away valuable picks and young players, ultimately, the Memorial Cup is your goal. It may have happened. But don't forget that Brown was damaged goods and it took a while for him to get up to stride. Many would say he never really got to 100% though his production would say otherwise. McEneny went down at a crucial time and we were fortunate that Vuk stepped in and played better than expected.
Givani Smith playing game 7 against the Soo could’ve changed a ton.
