Rangers retooled prospect pool

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

1. Jack Hughes/Kaapo Kakko
2. Vitali Kravtsov
3. Filip Chytil
4. Igor Shestyorkin
5. Lias Andersson

Also very deep 6-12 with second tier prospects. Along with the Jets pick, two considitional picks that could possibly end with potentially four first round picks. And Adam Fox likely coming to NY.

Jeff Gorton has done a masterful job.

Thoughts on where the Rangers have gone from a completely depleated prospect pool to where they are now.

inb4 Gorts and Clarke take Podkolzin instead

Definitely takes a big jump with one of the big two prospects(plus a couple more first rounders). Is Chytil still considered a prospect though? He played 75 games this year.

he's no longer a rookie but i think an undeveloped 19 year old is still a prospect

I don’t think this is threadworthy but you forgot K’Andre Miller who led Wisconsin in PPG as a dman. I’d have him over Lias slightly. As well as Nils Lundkvist, Libor Hajek, Yegor Rykov, and Ryan Lindgren, I feel like all 4 are noteworthy as well who deserve to be mentioned. All who have top 4 potential, Hajek and Lindgren have looked great in their callups. Then there’s Barron and Reunanen as well. Bright future ahead for us, can’t wait

Gorton is one of the most underrated GMs in the league. I said this on the Rangers boards yesterday but there are very, very few things I’d undo that he’s done

I am a fan of the Rangers rebuild so far, but you shouldn't be bragging about, or lumping in "what ifs" such as Adam Fox.

 

[voxel]

A little lacking on the D department.

 

[Taluss]

Wonder if this would sway Karlsson at all

Still too far away methinks. Rangers will need 3+ years before they'll be a serious threat. More like 5 years, realistically.

 

[jetsforever]

Add to that one of the most desirable UFA destinations

Plus the Rangers most of the time get, all the prospects coming from college and NCAA. I see Adam Fox heading to the Rangers.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

A little lacking on the D department.

Reminds me of the Leafs from a few years ago. Plenty of scoring in the system but really lacked defensive prospects. A move or two will need to be made/drafting lots of dmen.

 

[Mikeshane]

Rangers aren't a team I cheer for but somewhat like Toronto it's good for the league if they are able to get back into the playoffs soon.

 

[Lays]

A little lacking on the D department.

We have some of the best D prospects in the league as I listed above. Miller has top pairing potential

On the roster though it’s a little different. At least DeAngelo looks like a stud. We should have enough assets to eventually trade for better D, we have a ton of draft picks and then there’s guys like Kreider we might trade for even more assets. I think we’re fine there for considering we’re only a little over a year into our rebuild

 

[Devilsfan118]

I, for one, am looking forward to the Devils and Rangers getting the hatred flowing again.

What an absolute mastermind.

 

[Bounces R Way]

At least a top 2 pick gives them a shot at a potential star, a top line talent perhaps able to carry the mail. The rest of em still look pretty whatever to me. Definitely improved a lot today.

 

[MMC]

Chytil is not a prospect.

 

[Sam Spade]

A little lacking on the D department.

Yeah but Georgiev will help with a lot of defensive shortcomings.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I've been hoping to see New York properly rebuild through the draft ever since the successfully Leafs did. Seeing as we're the buying-up-the-has-been-UFAs cousins.

 

[Strait2thecup]

Chytil is not a prospect.

Nor is he very good

 

[Golden Puppers]

Chytil is not a prospect.

He's 19 for almost half a year still....it's a matter of semantics anyway.

Nor is he very good

no he's not great right now but you can see the flashes of talent he shows. Ranger fans are excited about him longer term. He's scored a few beuaty goals this year including these ones driving and beating dmen to the outside.

 

[MMC]

Prospect status is about the amount of games played, not age when a player is this young.

Lol my thoughts exactly

Depleted is being kind. They had no one before the 2017 draft. Maybe Shestyorkin and Sean Day?

On the current roster yes...Prospects quite the opposite. They probably need to add more forwards. Goaltending and defense are coming along (Miller, Nils Lundkvist, Lindgren, Hajek).
