Prospect Info: Rangers Prospects Thread (Stats in Post #1; Updated 12.14.18) *Part III*

[eco's bones]

Sjalin has been out injured the entire season. I don't think he's played a game in months.

 

[redwhiteandblue]

Only a few of us voted Krava at first for top prospect. I wonder how that will look after WJC let alone these last 10 games.

 

[Irishguy42]

Is Lindbom still injured?

Shouldn't be any different.

The WJC's are fun and I'd rather see a guy do well there than not, but they've become incredibly overrated in terms of prospect evaluations (See: V. Mittlestadt being ranked as the #1 prospect on earth based off of his WJC ahead of guys like Pettersson.)

a "poor" showing is what got Montreal to gift us McDonagh for Gomez. He turned out alright.

Well yeah I agree with that but it definitely influences some peoples views. Also I think since the prospect polls were postponed he has gone even more beast mode.

Yeah he injured himself during the U20 Four Nations game against Czech Republic on August 26th and has been out since. He has not played a game for his club this season.

Is Lindbom still injured?

Yeah, he still is. No updates on Twitter, in the Swedish press, or anywhere about his condition.

He’s kind of been in beast mode, the points have just started to pile up.

I think some people (my self included) value proximity to the NHL in these things. If the polls were sheer upside, he Miller and Shesyorkin would be run aways for the top 3

True, but Kravtsov's production in the KHL definitely puts him in the conversation for no 1 prospect for us.

I think he’s the prospect with the most upside without a doubt.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

True, but Kravtsov's production in the KHL definitely puts him in the conversation for no 1 prospect for us.

He's less of a player you have to dream on than Miller, thats for sure.

I just think that opinions of him which will be drastically formed over a 7 or 8 game tournament (for better or for worse) shouldn't really be taken seriously unless he puts up like 20 points and just looks that much better than everyone, or he pulls a Filatov.

FWIW, He does belong in the conversation, but I don't think there is a problem with putting him behind guys who are already here and contributing.

Same for Shesty, who probably has more of a claim to the #1 spot due to him being dominant across multiple seasons.

 

[nyr2k2]

Rykov didn't register anything on the stat sheet but he did play 26:27.

Reunanen and Ragnarsson, also nothing on the sheet.

 

[kovazub94]

Speaking of prospects on defense, Rykov’s Sochi won 3:2 SO over a team right on their heels in the playoff position race Dinamo Riga. Once again Rykov with the most ice time with over 26 minutes (2 more minutes than the second most time). No GA 5x5 but while defending 2:0 lead late in the 3rd period he was on the ice for two goals against Dinamo scored with a man advantage.

Any of our Swedish posters see this?

edit: nvm i didnt fully read the tweet

 

[UnSandvich]

I assume Nico Gross will also be on the Switzerland roster. Do you know the last time there were 7 players from the rangers at a world junior?

Gross is one of the listed names

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Hey, imagine if Själin had made it as well!

Tough when he still hasn't played a game this season (injured)

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Gross is one of the listed names

Yea I just realized that , gotta read better

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Is Lindbom still injured?

Yes.

Even if he wasn't he wouldn't have been on the team over any of these 99s... Ersson and Åhman absolutely tearing up Allsvenskan and OEE is a Team Sweden favorite.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Yea I just realized that , gotta read better

Pay attention! I do my best to deliver these things first thing, and you can't even take 10 seconds to properly read

 

[Don Chytil]

Well they're not really in the tournament officially, right? It's just a preliminary roster.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

One or two of them may get cut still, and Chytil was also invited (though he probably won’t go), but it’s nice to see more participation than there has been in a while

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Well they're not really in the tournament officially, right? It's just a preliminary roster.

Yeah. I didn't count Chytil because I don't think we are releasing him

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Any of our Swedish posters see this?

Didn't mention our guys.
