Player Discussion 17th Official Rangers Prospect Poll (Pre-WJC)

[Trxjw]

Howden. Fight me.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Howden. Fight me.

I got him 4th, ahead of Lias. Back at you.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I just don’t see Howden having Chytil or Kravstov’s offensive upside.

I could see the case for Howden over Lias, for sure, but Chytil/Kravstov just have too much game breaking ability for me to even consider Howden above them.

I do believe Howden may have more offensive upside than we were led to believe, but I just don’t see a game breaking player there. I think he can be a steady 50 pt 2nd line center.

 

[eco's bones]

Guys like Howden, Pionk and Georgiev probably won't even make the top 5 and these guys are establishing themselves as legit NHL players.

Not just legit NHL players, legit GOOD NHL players

Gorton and the scouting staff have done a phenomenal job in a very short time

I've read somewhere that the Rangers suck at drafting.

We pulled a Raiders and picked Lindbom in the 2nd so everything is a failure overall

 

[kovazub94]

Shesty is ahead of Kravtsov + Chytil imo, and by a decent amount.

Goalies are a fickle bunch.

I also will be voting for Howden in the 4th spot ahead of Lias and Miller (and Lundkvist)

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I put Howden #1 Don't @ me

 

[EdJovanovski]

Kravtsov
Add Lundkvist

 

[FIRE DRURY]

We get no love

[The Crypto Guy]

WJC shouldn't really be depicted as a good gauge for the prospects. It helps, but it doesn't justify the season entirely. Plus, the prospects have been playing for about 2-4 months already. Might as well get their midseason rankings in prior to the storm, you know?

Besides, most of NYR's guys won't be in the WJC anyway.... (4 at most)

No, but we literally just finished this a few months ago. Most seasons aren't even 1/3 of the way done yet.

 

[apoptygma]

Voted Chytil, but was tempted to go for Kravtsov.
Add Lundkvist

 

[Inferno]

I see that you're new to the boards. You could be on a hold until after your first 90 days....

But post who you would select and add to the list and I'll manually put you're vote through!!

VOTER FRAUD!

 

[Rempe73]

Torn between Kravtsov and Miller. Chytil is great, but I don’t believe his ceiling is as high as people say.

1. Kravtsov
2. Miller
3. Chytil
4. Shestyorkin
5. Pionk
6. Howden
7. Lundkvist
8. Hajek
9. Andersson
10. Keane

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I'm just going to say it. This poll comes at the right time for Chytil

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

I'm just going to say it. This poll comes at the right time for Chytil

Eh, I know what you mean, AK, but by the same token, we've seen SO much raw talent from him over the last two years that has gone, almost mysteriously, unrewarded, I almost feel like it's a reversion to the norm.

Oh, I am not saying he doesn't deserve the votes, but if this poll was held a week ago, I don't think it would be so clear-cut for the no 1 spot

 

[Rempe73]

I've read somewhere that the Rangers suck at drafting.

I believe the NYR are good at drafting, but Pionk and Georgiev were free agent signings, and we got Howden in a trade.

 

[darko]

Heetl, add Nils.

Whoa. No way.

The last one was in July.... It's the end of November....

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Chytil, Kravtsov, Lias and Shestyorkin top 4 in whatever order.
