Prospect Info: 2022-2023 Rangers Prospects Thread (Player Stats in Post #1; Updated 06.04.2023)

Is Karpa a legit prospect? I remember reading some draft day stuff on him that made him out to be an after thought.

I think so. He has a pro frame, plays a 200-foot game, works hard, can play all three forward positions, kills penalties. I don't think there's a ton of upside there, but from the little I've seen of him he gets around pretty good out there and has some offensive sense. Obviously he has the bloodlines.

I know a lot of people like taking high-upside kids late in the draft. They've done plenty of that in recent years. It's smart to balance that out with different types of players, like Edström, who maybe don't have the upside but have a more direct path to the NHL. I haven't seen enough of Karpa to really have a true read on him, but he seems to check the boxes on a potential bottom six NHLer.

He's a double over-ager (Already 20) so think of his production as though he's a junior in college from the perspective of an NHL franchise.

Doesn't mean he isn't doing well, but we'd be a lot more excited if he was 18.

I don’t hate taking kids with bloodlines. Obviously, they have to have the talent, but I like the idea of kids knowing what being a pro means going into it.

Othmann apparently was suspended for 2 games for shooting the puck into the opposing teams bench last game. Guess the league deemed it was on purpose. Womp.

He's kind of a dick. As long as he learns to rein in that kind of over-the-line stuff now, I think we'll all love him.

We need more of that. Too many choir boys on our roster.

agree...a lot easier to teach whoa than go

Karpa had an assist on the OT winner.

Hughes has an A and Ciccolini has a G.



Berard and Laba both missed SO chances.

Väisänen with the hattrick!

BMB is showing exactly why I loved him so much as a prospect last year. After a slow start, he's right back to where he was in the second half of last year being really aggressive on the puck and wanting to be the focal point of SSM's offense. I still can't believe he fell to the 3rd round, but I really do love his and the Sykora pick from last year.

The other mid-rounders that everyone was panning at the time are seemingly off to a really good start in their collegiate careers too. It's still early, but it's looking like a really nice haul for our North American-based scouts

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

BMB has been pretty fire after a slow-ish start to the season.

Would be swell if he could turn into something good.

I love it. This team has been a bunch of nice guys for 15 years sans Avery.

Othmann doesn’t have to be a star, but if he can be a top 6 forward who brings some sandpaper then it’s a great pick by Drury. I honestly think Drury’s draft philosophy will be great for the team long term. I just hope he hangs onto most of his high picks.

 

[nyr2k2]

Both Brett Berard and Jara Chmelar have 1+1 so far.

 

[Kords]

I can only assume this is a good thing. Better team, plus shakes things up so he isn't just going through the motions with the same guys.

It's a pretty lateral move. The Petes suck offensively and win by being excellent defensively. I can understand why they'd want to add Othmann. It's a bit surprising Flint would move him out now, unless maybe they were frustrated with him? Who knows.

Blair Betts type maybe? Is he good on faceoffs? Not familiar with him.

Othmann has repeatedly asked for a trade over the last 2 seasons. I'm not surprised by this.

They finally found an offer that was worth it, it seems.

Wouldn't trade Othmann to a better team.

He was becoming toxic in Flint’s locker room so they HAD to move him. The return demonstrates that as much. Normally a player like Othmann nets a 16 yr old first rounder plus 4/5 picks. Getting an older mid level dman plus a few picks is not ideal for Flint.

Yeah. It kind of feels like, whatever it was that the player himself wanted, the team was ready to move on.

BMB had a goal.
