Prospect Info: 2024-2025 Rangers Prospects Thread (Prospect Stats in Post #1; Updated 1/8/2025)

about as lifeless of a game as i've seen from bc in games i've caught since gabe got there. he's had a couple very nice setups that weren't finished on quick plays but other than that he's been pretty invisible. to be fair though, he also hasn't cost his team with any mistakes, and the entire team has been lifeless. uconn is playing their super bowl and i don't think bc took this game very seriously
 
Fortescue had an assist. Perreault was scoreless.

Laba was back in the lineup but had no points.

Emery, Kempf, Larsson, and Karpa were also scoreless. Quiet night for us in the NCAA.

Aspinall was out again. I assume he's injured. I don't do Twitter anymore so I haven't seen anything about him.

Boilard set up his brother's goal. He has 23 assists in 19 games, but just 4 goals.

Gredig had an assist.
 
Uneventful game for Perreault.

BC goalie (Jacob Fowler) got a 5 minute major and a game misconduct for throwing a jab/punch with his blocker.

UConn player got a 5 minute major and game misconduct for essentially using his glove and pushing a BC player's helmet off during a scrum.

Poor Rasmus Larsson. Sticks with Northern Michigan after Potulny leaves and now they're 1-10 and have been outscored 43-14. Shutout in 4 of their last 6 games.

Should he have tried to transfer?

Who knows. A lot of kids did transfer out of the program. I have no idea who if anyone was interested in him, although a recent NHL draft pick would surely have offers. There could have been other things tying him to the program.

EDIT: It also occurred to me that if he's here on a student visa it could be difficult to transfer schools, or require a certain amount of time that maybe he didn't have after Potulny left. That's just a guess based on my own work with employees in the US on visas, but it could be.

That does in fact complicate things. Even for NHLers.

Daniel Sprong for instance, couldn't play for the Kraken right away after he was traded from the Canucks because he had to wait for his US work visa.
 
For Larsson sticking with Northern Michigan he's probably getting more ice time because of the transfers. How Northern Michigan recruits for the next year or two might make his decision to stick it out more worthwhile. I don't know if what happens in his freshman year is going to have that much impact on how he develops on the whole. I expected that he was going to need at least 3 years in college anyway. Neither him or Henricks lit up the USHL last year. They're projects. He was a second year eligible draft when we drafted him and then who he another year in the USHL but IMO he's very much a project player who needs time and might not turn pro until he's 24 years old.
 
I'm not saying it was bad for Larsson to stay. You just feel for him a bit. The past few years that program has been .500 or so. Right now they're ranked 62/64 D1 teams. He gets about 17 minutes per night which is pretty solid for a guy with his background, though he could probably find that at other mid-tier programs that are a bit more stable.

The guy that took over Shyiak, has a reputation for working with defenseman. It could well end up being a good situation for him. Just really rough this first year. There will probably be more turnover after this year as well.
 
Decision of which program to join is not made randomly (duh) and coaching staff is probably close to 50% if not more. I can completely buy into visa issues being the main reason Larsson had to stay while a lot of prospects (of even lesser status - not being drafted) decided to find a different program to join.

It's a tough decision to make when you're young. Not everyone has the benefit of getting to play for their hometown D1 program. I don't envy kids in Larsson, Kjellberg, Cam Talbot's positions. You want to make sure you're playing the right minutes, but also in a program that actually gets scouted, against opposition that will develop you, with a coaching staff that at least uses some pro-style game strategy (Michigan, BC) (Not Yale))

The silver lining is it's just as bad in other sports at the NCAA level. There's no draft to save floundering programs. I feel like 60 percent of the top 15 teams in college football are all clustered in the SEC now.

Perrault with breakaway goal in the first minute. He opened up the goalie and slipped it between the goalie's legs.

kids handles are so smooth....extremely impressive to pull that move off during actual play too. it's one thing to do that on a penalty shot/shootout, but not many could or would be able to pull that off at game speed with back pressure.
 
Wheeler, Pronman, and some other guy predicted the WJC rosters on The Athletic. They had Perreault as USA's 1LW, Fortescue as the 1RD, and Emery as the 2RD. They didn't have any other guys on the other teams.

Did you mean 1LD for Fortescue, or are they really planning to play him on the right side?

The projection lists him at RD. I have no idea if there's any inside information involved or they're just speculating. They have him paired with Buium.


They also predict Paul Fischer and Cole Hutson who are both LH. So with Buium and Fortescue you have 4 LHD. I guess the assumption is Buium-Fortescue is your best pair even with Fortescue on the off side.
