Prospect Info: 2024-2025 Rangers Prospects Thread (Prospect Stats in Post #1; Updated 2/6/2025)

[Overcast]

CC won 3-2 in OT. Laba had an assist and a shot, 4/6 on FOs, and got another ejection for hitting from behind. That's the second ejection for hitting from behind in the last week - 2/1 and 2/8.

He has been kicked out a few times. I like that he plays with an edge but he needs to be smarter.

I’d rather a guy you have to reign in over a guy you have to try to rev up. He’s a bit kid who skates well. I’m glad he wants to initiate contact.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Rasmus Larsson scored again. He has 0 points in his first 25 games and now has 3 goals in 4 games. Also Northern Michigan has won a few games and no longer looks like the worst team I've ever seen.

Hendricks also scores a goal tonight.

Maybe I'm full of shit but it seems to me that the bar for getting kicked out of a NCAA game is a lot lower than it would be for an AHL or NHL game. More often than not the player isn't suspended. If I remember Perreault got kicked out of a game last year and Fortescue has been kicked out at least twice and maybe more than that. Laba does have kind of a hard game. His last year in the USHL he had over 100 pm's.

Pretty sure I had a stroke or something - CC lost on 2/8, 3-1. Laba did not have any penalties/ejections. No points, 5/11 on FOs, 3 shots, -1.

he's not a real prospect is he? this FO HATES non-NA defensemen lol

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

I'm fine with Laba being a little crazy. This team needs that. A little crazy cost GAG Line, Lundqvist Era, and so far the Gallant-Lavi years Cups.

Maybe only Swedish

It's interesting the Rangers liked Fortescue over Mancini. Rangers need d prospects. Outside of Fortescue not much. I don't know much about Dorrington and if he has bottom pair potential, and Emery is probably going to be a four year NCAA stay.

Fortescue has been underrated around here since we drafted him. Glad the NYR at least see he has good potential.

I've always seen him as a better skating Lindgren. A second pair guy. Thoughts?

Yup I see him as a future 2nd pair guy if everything shakes out well. Not much offensive potential but that's what the forwards are for.

I think it’s 2 fold. A) with the borgen signing they have the right side figured out with emery in the way, and 0 lhd depth. B)didn’t fortescue play with drurys kid? So prob some loyalty to him.

They can't hate them that much, Drury has traded for 3, signed 2 (both later traded) and traded another 3, plus drafted one (so far)...

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Fortescue is a bigger version of Lindgren that can actually skate and make quality outlet passes.

Fortescue is a natural LD, whereas Mancini is a natural RD.

With Fox and Borgen signed long-term, and the Rangers probably extending Schneider after his bridge deal, it makes sense to value a LD over a RD. Purely organisational depth.

I also don't think it's out of the question that Fortescue eventually will be a better D than Mancini. He's 3 years younger.
