Prospect Info: Rangers Prospect poll: #4

[Beacon]

D Brady Skjei won round 3. G Mackenzie Skapski is added to the poll.

WHO IS A PROSPECT: We can't all have different standards based on what we each want personally, so we follow HF rules. The standard for what's a prospect is here: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/whatmakesaprospect


I specifically want to point out that McIlrath, Clendening, Paliotta, Skjei and Hrivik are eligible as prospects since they played under 65 games. Every year there are people who declare something like, "I don't consider Buchnevich to be a prospect because he's guaranteed to play on the Rangers." That is not the standard. We cannot have everyone follow a difference standard because then the results will be meaningless. By HF standards, McIlrath and others I listed are eligible, therefore they will count as prospects here.

Please write-in who you think should be added to the poll.

Given his KHL performance this year and the utter destruction of the VHL last season, Shesterkin is the right choice here.

Add Nieves. He's being lost in the woods here because the kid is injured, but great size, great speed, good vision. He looked really good in Traverse.

 

[Revel]

I'll go with Igor again, too.

And I'll still say add Clendo, despite some holes in his defensive game. The way he has played, he almost feels like a sure thing on the PP.

 

[bobbop]

Igor pitching a shutout. Add Boo.

 

[Beacon]

Igor pitching a shutout. Add Boo.

He's not playing tonight. He got an SO the last game. I just checked the SKA game tonight and Costco got rocked for 5 goals on 23 shots, which is excellent because Shesterkin's good play combined with Costco's bad play will hopefully give Igor the starting job.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Igor

Add Huska

 

[bernmeister]

went w/Dylan
he's making the club!

Shesterkin is valid IF we control his rights
I maybe misinformed but my understanding is his declining to sign a deal w/NY means he controls his right to be re-selected, or FA, or whatever, but bottom line is he is not automatically our property to develop.

Hulska is the add if Shesterkin is dq'd here


Day is like YakIMov on Oilers, HUGE raw talent

but don't see he is presently ahead of likes of Calle Andersson, who is on the cusp of being NHL ready somewhere.

Nieves and Gropp may have catch up to do, but I predict both will exceed Kovacs at day's end

THANKS TO BEACON FOR RUNNING THIS GIG

I've wondered this too and have not been able to find any info on it. Anyone know for how long we control his rights? The contract he is on now with SKA runs to 2019 I think.

Until he's 27 or something like that.

 

[darko]

Shesty add Tarmo

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Shestyorkin, add Clendening.

 

[Boruto]

I don't really see the Harry Styles in Skjei to be honest.

 

[BBKers]

So the likely scenario is that Prospects 1-3 will graduate next season and our top prospect is then a goalie (albeit promising) with 2 more years left on a KHL contract. I guess it is then that we will begin to feel the nauseous magnitude of our all-in deadline trading the past years, unless Gorton can pull some more Hayes/Vesey kind of magic...

At the time bob posted that, I think they meant in the poll.

Though I didn't see this until this morning, so....

 

[Ghost of jas]

McIlrath. Add Gropp.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Went with Shesty. Add Reunanen.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Add Gropp.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Add Gropp

 

[NYR Viper]

McIlrath add Gilmour

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Shesty. Add Boo.

 

[eco's bones]

McIlrath. Clendening.

 

[silverfish]

Huh. Rangers must have some damn good prospects if a kid who is likely already a #4 d-man can barely crack the top-5.

Now, now, not all of us take into account certainty of reaching their potential as high as you apparently do. In these rankings, I weight where I think the player will end up when he's finished developing much higher than any other factor. Shesty vs. McI was a tough call, but I went with the guy I think has a decent chance to be a good goalie over a guy I see topping out as a 4-5-6 defender.

(Hopefully they BOTH exceed my expectations.)

In the correct environment, with a partner like Yandle, McIlrath is a borderline first-pairing D. He played to that extent last season with Yandle.

The only reason this guy isn't already an everyday #4, and a lot of fans favorite D-man, is because AV is a tool.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Went with Graves. Don't know why I picked him as he is likely 5-6. Should have been McIlrath. Add Boo.
