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

[BS45]

How many of our prospects really project to be NHL players?

G: Garand, Boyko?
D: Robertson, Jones
F: Othmann, Cuylle, Sykora, Berard, Laba, Mc, Any of the Euos?

Grubbe will definitely play in the NHL question is will he be a 3rd liner or 4th liner. Not sold on either Berard or Laba

 

[Roo Returns]

I gave an update on Edstrom the other day, and since then he has picked up a few more points. In 38 games this year, he has a career high in goals (8), assists (9), and points (17). His previous high in points was 10. He is also playing a career-best 14:21 per game. He has played all over the lineup, on basically every line. I look forward to seeing what he can do next season.

I really really hope he's not the second piece going to Chicago as part of the Kane trade. He has an ELC already and might be a very useful piece next season.

He has the frame to be a good NHLer.

 

[nyr2k2]

36 save SO for Ollas.

Kjellberg had an assist.

Karpa unfortunately still injured.

Hughes had an assist.

Grubbe has 2A through two periods against Boyko who has allowed 4 goals on 20 shots.

Lindbom's 5 ECHL starts since his AHL cup of coffee: 4-1, 1.41 GAA, .954 SV%.

Signs of life?

NCAA Conference tournaments begin this weekend, although Hockey East not until next week

Michigan(Cicc), Harvard(Karpa), Gophers(Lamb) pretty much locks for NCAAs, so losses this weekend won't end their season

Cornell(Kempf), Northeastern(Hughes), Merrimack(Ollas), UNO(Mancini) are all 13-17 in PW, so some wins might get them in

seems Providence(Berard, Chmelar) would have to win HE tourney to join NCAA tourney, but can still earn home ice for 1st round
NMich(Kjellberg), Col.Coll(Laba) are mediocre teams who could extend their seasons a week or 2, def would need to win tournament to get into NCAAs

anyway, seasons ending for D1 teams will begin this weekend, altho guys on cusp teams might wait for certainty on selection day, which is March 19

NYR occasionally sign guys after 2 seasons (Step, Lindy)
but current 2 season guys - Mancini, Karpa, Kempf, Ollas - probably haven't earned it yet

NYR might be able to sign Berard as soon as next Wed eve (if PC has a poor weekend and a Wednesday loss)

Kjellberg season could end this weekend too, but hard to see NYR getting him signed to more than AHL PTO or w Jax

Pairwise	available to Sign	age	D1 season played
23	0209 Berard Providence	20	3
29	0002 Kjellberg N.Michigan	23	~3
4	0101 Eric Ciccolini Michigan	22	~4
17	0006 Hughes Northeastern	22	4
	maybe sign and leave early
7	0205 Karpa Harvard	20	2
13	0204 Hank Kempf Cornell	20	2
16	0205 Mancini UNO	21	2
17	0204 Ollas Merrimack	20	2
	need more time in NCAA
23	0307 Chmelar Providence	19	1
1	0308 Brody Lamb UMinn	19	1
38	0308 Laba Col Coll	19	1

Harvard and Cornell have byes so no games for them this weekend.

 

[nyr2k2]

Othmann has a goal so far.

Barbashev, who has been cold, breaking out with 1+2 through 2 periods.

Berard has 1+1.

 

[2014nyr]

was watching some of bu-providence but didnt tune in til mid 2nd...saw berard had the 2 points but i did not see him on the ice when i was watching. not sure if anything went on since i had a couple things going on and was in and out with paying close attention. still expected to at least notice him do something if he was playing and i just never noticed him out there. not trying to knock him for anything when i caught less than half the game but was hoping to see him in the thick of things and generating some offense like hutson for bu.

hutson is a complete baller, incredibly dynamic and elite hockey iq....he looks like fox and karlsson had a baby playing ncaa hockey. will see how he transitions to pro hockey but damn its hard to imagine him not being a great player at any level. noticed him practically every shift for all the right reasons.

Watched a ton of BU this year. Agree about Hutson. He's got real superstar potential. This kid was drafted last year 4 spots away from the 3rd round. 1 pick ahead of ours (Sýkora). It says a lot about how these organizations evaluate talent.

 

[bobbop]

I listened to a segment about Ranger prospects on NHL radio and they were just raving about Will Cullye. Excellent size and shot showing real growth this year. Very encouraging.

We could use another guy who can handle the rough stuff but isn't a detriment on the ice.

We need two more of Will Cuyle. Othmann is a start. And better.

Let's get one more.

@bobbop Cullye had 7 SOG last night. He's very close and should be the emergency callup if Motte is out for any period of time.

@Daves a mess I know I've been preaching Edstrom here but he's doing all of the right things and developing the right way.

The three of those kids may play an important role for the Rangers as soon as this fall.

They need some solid character guys on ELCs already.

 

[egelband]

I like Goodrow a lot but I’ve got to think they trade him this summer as part of the effort to re-sign Kane and/or Tarasenko.
Cuylle‘s development makes that pretty reasonable.

I am happy that Cuylle spent most of the season in Hartford. As bad as most people think Hartford is I would rather him develop there than on Broadway.

regarding the signed players in Euro leagues
unsure of guidelines/precedent for them joining NA teams post season,
Sykora may be considered for Slovak team at Mens WC,
but that doesn't begin until May 12 (once all euro league playoffs are done)

if i understand what i find online correctly,
today is final day of Slovak league regular season,
and Sykora's Nitra is very likely headed to a best-of-5 play-in round,
as they currently sit 10th in 12 team league,
where 7-10 play-in, then winners join 1-6 for playoffs
so Sykora's season may end within next couple weeks

Edstrom seems in identical situation,
Rogle is within 7-10 in standings, those teams will meet in "round 1" and 2 winners will move on
So his season may end within a couple weeks as well

Once their season ends, they can be recalled and join the Wolf Pack.

[UnSandvich]

Kid was a steal relative to where we got him imo. A speedy, high IQ shit-stirrer with underrated puck skills, who plays within his game rather than try to do too much. Can’t wait to see him in Rangers blue

 

[Fitzy]

Frankly, pretty much only good news out of Sykora and BMB so far.

BMB could end up the third line center of the future.

 

[eco's bones]

That's the kind of stuff that wins games for his team. Keeping in mind that Sykora is just about if not the youngest player taken in last year's draft and he's playing in a very good European men's league---top echelon in his home country. He's on the small side and no doubt probably needs to get a little heavier and stronger but he's a great skater with an engine, a very competitive pest kind of forward with a good grasp of a two way game. He also has put up a pretty decent amount of production for a 17/18 year old this year. Looking at his production it's going to be different than CHL players like Othmann, BMB, Grubbe or Barbashev. He isn't going to have those kind of gaudy production numbers of players playing against 16 to 20 year old competition.

 

[eco's bones]

Frankly, pretty much only good news out of Sykora and BMB so far.

BMB could end up the third line center of the future.

BMB is listed now at 6'2 195. So he's got a very good frame. When he's 24 or so he's probably playing at 210 anyway.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Wow, he's drawing almost one PP for his team each game? That's pretty damn impressive. Usually players with insane puck control draw penalties like that.
