Ryabkin at 16ov is interesting as well. He dropped a bit in a few other lists. He'd be a fantastic get with the Rangers 1st.

ryabkin has way too much talent to drop too far. some team is going to take a homerun swing and pick him. I'm not sure i would have the guts to do it. but then again, we are a team that needs to be taking homerun swings.

Anyone watched Aitcheson at all? Marek seems to love him because of his snarl, one of the many things we need...

I don't know if Frondell over Martone happens.

I expect it to as of today.

Odd to see Desnoyers at 14ov though. I highly doubt he drops that far.

He’s not that good, is why. IMO.

we need top 4. we could drop one slot if we stink up the lotto.

I’d be happy with anyone in top 5. Think 5OA ensures you one of Misa/Hagens/Martone/Frondell. Haven’t seen a ton of anyone but kinda feel like if you can’t get Schaefer the other 4 are similar caliber.

I think I'm hoping for Martone at this point with where the Penguins 1st is likely going to land. They really seem to have the bottom falling out from them where they'll more likely be picking #4 or #5 than #8. They still desperately need centers, but Martone, McGroarty and Koivunen as your 3 best winger prospects looks really good to me and I like the mix of talents there if all 3 pan out.

At #4 yes. If Misa or Hagens are on the board, I do not believe that will be the case. Taking Martone over Misa is willful negligence. If anyone at FSG knows anything about any of them and they watch Dubas take Martone over Misa, he's fired. Course, I'm super high on Misa so I'm biased.

I don't think Ryabkin is a "homerun" swing player though. I think he's a mid-1st talent in a weak draft and likely a mid-2nd round talent in a strong draft.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

That would be the dream scenario. Jack Ivanovic is another name to keep an eye on. He's undersized, but making Team Canada (WJC) and becoming the starting goaltender as a 17-year-old is quite the feat.

It's looking more likely that the pick will fall in 2025 rather than 2026. Their 1st is currently sitting at 14th overall and it seems to be on the upward trend. The Rangers are still pretty ass but it seems like Miller is trying to drag them into the playoffs.

I'm just hoping it comes in at like #14 or #15, otherwise it slides to next year.

he's a highly skilled head case....... seems his "give a dam" is broke.

I still think they miss
