Prospect Info: Rangers Prospect Rankings: (Fall 2020) - #6

[Rempe73]

IDK about Henriksson. I need to see the perceived talent start translating into production. He had a chance in Allsvenskan last year and didn't really do anything with it. He only had one or two points in like a dozen games. He didn't do anything in the SHL. That's all fine, he's a teenager, but I'd like to see him start producing in the top flight now. He's getting a great chance playing big minutes and he needs to seize the opportunity.

I'd be less concerned if he weren't small. Or, if he weren't small and a mediocre skater. It's really tough to make in the NHL when you're small and an average skater. I know he has great vision and IQ, but that combination is going to be tough to overcome.

I like Henriksson, but I agree. He has to start producing. He’s very small, and is only a pretty good skater, which I agree isn’t easy to overcome, but possible with high-end or elite skill. I don’t think he has that either.

 

[Savant]

This is a nice half dozen.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Regarding Henriksson, I don't remember Zucc being an amazing skater. He wasn't bad, but he wasn't Hagelin.

 

[bmoak]

Add Coolie.

 

[Sayba]

Add Cuylle

 

[Leetch3]

I've got these next 2 spots as a toss up between Robertson and Schneider...went with Robertson but I'd be good with either order the next 2 spots.

Add Henriksson

 

[Raspewtin]

gonna go off the board and say Robertson

add Cuylle

his skating was way, way better his second stint here

 

[pld459666]

Going with Barron.

Add Cuylle

 

[Luger]

Jesus, I completely forgot that he really had two stints here.

 

[NYR425]

Went Schneider here I actually think he is our 3rd or 4th best prospect. Think it is a toss up between him and Nils. Although I like Nils not sure how he translates to the nhl, think Schneider is a sure fire 3/4 with an upside of a 2. Add Cuylle

 

[bobbop]

Add Vierling

 

[eco's bones]

Cuylle.

The thing with Zucc was that his hands were basically elite. Henriksson’s aren’t, although they are not bad either. If KH can become a little bit faster, I think he has 2C upside. But this is just my opinion, and I admit that I haven’t watched him as much as I watch other prospects.

I agree.

I also just don't like comparisons to Zucc, in general. He has one of the most unique build/skillset combinations I've ever seen.

went with Robertson. Add Pajuneemzi

You’re talking about Zucc’s build/skill set combination, right? Or am I missing something with Henriksson?

That’s a fair point with the possibility of Nils’ game being less likely to translate. I do think Schneider being a “sure fire” 3/4D is a bit optimistic, although I see the argument. For me, it’s a bit tougher to evaluate him than other prospects. Probably because he’s a hybrid of a “tools” prospect and a “smarts” prospect. Also, the fact that his skill set on D fills a greater need than Nils’ skill set does might allow him more opportunity.

 

[darko]

Schneider add Hajek

 

[Midikem]

Add Henriksson

 

[RangersFan1994]

Voted for Barron add Cuyle.

I think Barron can surprise can score 15 goals. I think he will be on the Rangers once season starts. I doubt he starts in Hartford unless he gets hurt or has a bad camp. He will be 22. I see no AHL time for him. For some reason I think college kids are more pro ready than junior players. I feel that more college players are ready to step in over players from juniors. Derek Stepan went the same route and he was only 20

 

[kovazub94]

For me it's

Robertson
Schneider
Jones

In that order.

Add Berard

I got Schneider higher. Usually when it’s close I would take an older player but I think there’s a clear separation here. His game looks more polished than Robertson was plus more pronounced element of physicality. On the Rangers board Schneider was also ranked much higher than Robertson was a year ago.

 

[Harbour Dog]

You’re talking about Zucc’s build/skill set combination, right? Or am I missing something with Henriksson?

Zucc's combo, yup!

About to close this poll and start another.
