I agree with this. In the end, we all are going to have to abide to whoever the Rangers select with any of their picks, let alone their 1st rounder. As much as I would love to have Brannstrom & Co., NYR has their own scouting and personnel that has tabs out on certain players. I doubt in my mind, though, that Brannstrom is not not on their list. He should really be considered a top 15 pick.
Reedy is a reach in the 1st. Bowers not so much, however, I do think he is overhyped a little bit. The way he accelerates irks me to no end. It is taught in basic hockey skating camps that the best way to start up one's stride is by nearly walking on your toes into a fluid stride. He doesn't do that. He just chomps his feet down before ultimately getting into a stride. I feel if he could get a good skating coach throughout the offseason(s), watch out. He already has a good stride, but he can be so much more fast than he really is at the moment.
