For anyone that has an Athletic subscription, Scott Wheeler just posted an article this morning about teams draft needs for the top 15 picks, and a potential pick for each team.



Here’s what he wrote about the Rangers

Definitely don't mind Holloway as a pick. I'd be pretty stoked, actually!!

Other tidbits from that Wheeler article I posted yesterday I found interesting

- He would not be surprised if Kaiden Guhle is the second defenseman taken after Drysdale, apparently a lot of scouts he's talked to are very high on Guhle

- Believes there is a high chance of the Devils taking Jack Quinn with Arizona's pick (which currently sits at #10)

- Thinks it's 50/50 Askarov is taken in the top 15​

LOLOL if true!!
 


Pronman released a mock draft article today for the first 15 picks. Rangers pick Holloway

I’m pretty sure Carp just copied what Wheeler wrote on Holloway the other day and changed a few words.

Pronman thinks the team may target center due to lack of depth

13. New York Rangers: Dylan Holloway, C, Wisconsin-Big 10

Rick Carpinello: The Rangers have stocked up on goalies and defensemen, and are still in need of forwards (even with recent first-rounders Kaapo Kakko, Filip Chytil and Vitali Kravtsov) in the system. Holloway, a 6-foot01, 203-pound center, would be a pick for the future, having just completed his freshman year at Wisconsin, where he was teammates with 2018 Rangers first-rounder K’Andre Miller (who turned pro last month). A lefty shot with good hands and compete level, per Central Scouting, Holloway was 8-9-17 in 35 games this season.

Pronman’s take: After using a top 10 pick on Lias Andersson as a highly competitive player with skill that hasn’t worked out, Holloway would be a similar kind of bet – although he’s a far superior skater to Andersson with more size and a lot of skill too. The Rangers have had a lot of high picks recently, but center is a spot the organization could use more depth at, especially if Andersson is on the trade block.

would be very happy with Holloway’s style of play if the Rangers aren’t as lucky in this lottery to move way up.

Quinn at 23 just feels like another Gropp to me. I like Zary, but there may be better options. There's always a player or two who drop

Players like that scare me as well but I find it hard to believe that so many have Quinn near top 10 if he wasn't a decent scorer. In fairness was Gropp ever considered to be close to a top 10 prospect in the 2015 draft? I don't even think anyone had him as a first rounder.

I am not comparing the two in terms of talent. Just that they both seems to feed off of an elite junior player on their team, either through playing on the same line, or by having the advantage of favourable match ups through the elite player taking on the tougher assignments. Going from 32 points to 89 in the span of 12 months is great, but it seems like an anomaly to me for a kid like Quinn, who is also among the oldest in his draft class
