Prospect Info: 2024-2025 Rangers Prospects Thread (Prospect Stats in Post #1; Updated 2/17/2025)

[eco's bones]

Tanner Glass Rangers legend lmfao Pionk is another college player that fights every now and then

Pionk's not very good at it. A lot of people here didn't think Glass was either but they're kind of wrong. Glass didn't always win and most guys who do that a lot don't. Lots of fights are draws or close enough. If you look at Glass's hockey fights page you'll find a bunch of 6's and 7's and maybe a 8 or two with sometimes over 100 people rating the fight. When the numbers are up there like that with that many people weighing in it's almost always a pretty good fight. Some of those he loses for sure but he destroys Eric Nystrom who was a fairly frequent fighter. Eric was concussed and I don't think his career lasted much longer after that. He also beat up Tim Gleason pretty good in a playoff game. It was payback for Gleason jumping him earlier in the regular season. He also pretty much KO'ed Matt Martin. Glass had his moments. There was also the fight with Luke Witkowski. That was a mean and nasty guy who had a lot of stamina. One also has to remember Glass was big but not that big and sometimes guys like him have to take on guys who are larger or much larger.

Apologies if this has already been discussed/addressed but I just looked up EJ Emery's stats and I'm wondering the context behind him having only 1 assist in 29 games?

Yeah close to 0% chance he’s coming back to the Rangers. I meant another attempt to make it in the NHL. With that I’m dropping the subject

agree pointless to discuss was just curious if his rights were held and if there was an expiry…because he’s about as likely to return to van as ny.

This has been discussed already, far more than necessary. I wouldn't read anything into it. It's a statistical anomaly, nothing more.

Mancini had 5 assists in 38 games as a freshman, and 10 points in 40 games in his final year of college. This year, he had 5 points in 15 games with the Rangers, and 10 points in 23 games in Hartford. Some people like to claim that there is a direct correlation between points scored at lower levels and points scored in the NHL, but it just isn't true for every player.

Emery is not an offensive player. He's not on the PP and he's probably not up the ice a lot. He's a freshman trying to play good defense and not make mistakes. The lack of points just means he hasn't been lucky enough to get cheap assists. It doesn't mean anything in terms of his development.

I mentioned that a couple days ago. NCAA hockey really really frowns on players dropping gloves/throwing punches. That's not something new. That goes back decades. It's one game as well....which is typically what happens when a player does do that.

All that said there have been lots of tough players.....guys who fight that come out of college hockey.

Tanner Glass for instance. Chris Nilan, John Scott, George Parros, George McPhee. You can make a lot longer list but those are names that just popped up for me at the moment.

I wish the professional league had standards as high as a college league.

Yeah that's what typically stands out when a player has so few assists across that many games. Like how Kreider only managed to register 1 assist across a large chunk of his season. You'd suspect there would be more secondary assists sprinkled in there just by way of being the 2nd to last person to touch the puck on a play.

I actually don't mind fighting at all but it also was more of a thing back in the 70's when I started following and playing hockey. The Bruins and the Blues were amongst the toughest teams and then the Flyers just went all out and overboard. When teams are successful other teams will try to mirror them. The Flyers went nuclear and won a couple of Cups and then everyone else got in on it......and the NHL marketed it for decades until the concussion lawsuits came along and then that stopped.....but they've made sure to walk away from all responsibility. Typical of what wealthy and powerful people do.

It's not nearly as big now as it use to be. Still it is a violent combat sport and shit is going to happen. I've played in some 'non contact' recreation leagues and there was contact all the time. It's almost unavoidable. Two opposing players getting to the puck at the same time......no one steps back. If you do you might as well not even be playing and your teammates are not going to be happy with you. People get pissed at each other....swat each other with their sticks and accidents also happen (once I speared a guy in the neck pitchforking a puck down the ice on a penalty kill....I didn't think he was going to skate right into it but he did) and people get angry.....and then there's always going to be guys stirring the pot and there's shit talk going on all the time. Back to the accidental if you really get someone and didn't mean to--you apologize.....that doesn't always mean it's over but if you don't apologize it pretty much means you did do it on purpose. It's fun to play though and can be exhilarating and it can test your limits.

Based on who was picked in the last years of Clark, i would guess that Bobrov had a larger say on who NYR would draft

Chris Morehouse was a large voice in the room.

 

[Leetch3]

2 goal night for brody lamb so far

 

[Mugless]

 

[nyr2k2]

Lamber also had an assist, so 2+1 for him.

Laba was out again for CC.

 

[n8]

BC up 4-0 vs Vermont after 2, GP with 2 assists
G1: Stiga SHG
G2: GP with secondary assist with a one handed chip in and then getting up front for a screen
G3: GP with primary assist, zone entry --> nice saucer dish to Leonard who goes backhand
G4: Stiga --> Gasseau

With the Rangers and their uselessness at developing prospects, what are the chances if current and future prospects refuse to sign with the Rangers? I know it won't happen but would be hilarious if the youth did this to burn the Rangers organization

Has any player refused the allure of signing with the Rangers?
Has any player who has yet to play within the NYR organization ever refused to sign with the Rangers?
I don't see it happening, but give me Leonard and Hutson for Fox. Go get Ovie another cup, Leonis.

Caps aren't moving Leonard. I wish it would happen though

Marchessault would probably be the closest one in recent memory. We offered him a contract but he chose to go to CBJ. We never had his rights though so it's not the same as someone we drafted rejecting us.

RJ Umberger if I remember correctly. He refused to sign with the Canucks, Rangers got him as part of the Rucinsky trade and then he wouldn't sign with the Rangers.

Ended up with the Flyers.
