Prospect Info: 2024-2025 Rangers Prospects Thread (Prospect Stats in Post #1; Updated 1/29/2025)

Just wanted to give yall some trivia.

Jackson Dorrington, the guy you got in the Miller trade, is related to the first ever black NHL hockey player Willie O Ree. He’s also a really underrated prospect and has NHL projectable traits with his skating, size, physicality, and defensive IQ. Mancini replacement.

He’s probably better than Lindgren right now.

Doesn’t BC play NE Monday?

 

[noncents]

fortescue, dorrington, emery is a reasonable D pipeline, for the drury prototype.

jones and brannstrom are the smaller puck mover types that we don't like to play.

Kempf just scored in Canton tonight.

Kempf scored. Rasmus Larsson scored believe it or not. Gabriel also scored and Fortescue with an assist.

Take em how you get em.

Dorrington is a sleeper prospect, don't write him off. One of the top TOI players in the entire NCAA and tough as a rock. I have a few shift-by-shift videos on him if people are interested. I'm pretty high on him compared to most Canucks fans and I hope he makes it to the NHL being related to O'Ree.

Minor correction here:

He's related to Art Dorrington, the first ever black player to sign an NHL contract. He's not related to Willie O'Ree.

Dorrington and Northeastern play BC on Monday (Bean pot opener for both teams.)

 

[eco's bones]

Rasmus Larsson has scored again.

I wonder why the Canucks traded him. Seemed like overkill considering value-wise the Rangers got more even without him.

He may have been a kid they were concerned would it sign

Probably just didn’t see any sort of succession plan for him considering we have a couple of LD prospects who are further ahead and have more potential.

Canucks have a lot of good “mid” prospects if that makes sense. Dorrington is someone to definitely track.

Log jam on the AHL team and he was at risk of going for the 4th year. I disagree that others were way ahead of him in development and potential. There is plenty of upside in Dorrington, he just flew under the radar here in Van because he isn't a flashy points producing player.

He's tough as nails though, loves to hit, and has a mean streak in him. First to start a scrum, last to leave type of attitude. Dorrington plays an absolute shit ton of minutes in all situations. The low point totals come mostly from the fact that NE's program isn't that deep in skilled forwards who can put the puck in the net. They also have one of the top offensive defenseman in the league on the team who takes up a large chunk of the offensive opportunities.

From a toolbox perspective, he has all the tools to be a top 4 defenseman in the league. Can he put them all together, that's to be decided. An important jump would be on how he handles going pro and if he can adapt. He's got very transferable skills but when it comes to young D it's always how they handle the speed of the game when they step up a level.
