Whose rankings are they?

 

[Larrybiv]

Exactly where I’m at on this. I edited my other post after you quoted.

JT Miller was drafted as a center. He was a vastly better wing. Like you said tons of players are drafted as centers, but virtue of the best players at their age always playing center. Team Canada approach. Get the 12 best forwards possible and slot them in as applicable. Especially in today’s modern game, things are so fluid and always changing.

I say keep the best players and let it play out from there. Hayes has looked so good I’d hate to trade him for a lottery ticket.

Agree, but 2 things. Not only we will be getting "worse" this season which will "help" mind you......not necessarily tank, but I believe the KEY is, not just the #1 they should get......but its that "extra" good prospect that some team should be coughing up. There will be many suitors for Kevin......we need to "cash in" for a change. And.......
The 2nd thing is.......if the Rangers REALLY WANTED TO, we could re-sign him, presuming acquiring team doesn't do so before he becomes a UFA, which Kevin really should do for his own financial benefit. If Kevin comes back, that would be awesome. I would want him.

Chytil had a year as a Center in the AHL, the primary year of his career so far. I wouldn't call that occasionally...


That is the thing, you are freaking out because you don't see any of our prospects as franchise players, but just a handful of 1st and 2nd overall picks look like a franchise player in their rookie season in the NHL. Sometimes a Barzal, Petterson arise but they are very, very rare.

Chytil played wing for years before being drafted. It's only after the draft when he was shifted to center

Whose rankings are they?

Just made them up. Nah, sorry . Forgot to add my source.

draftsite.com which has mocks regularly and those are a combination of the rankings of ESS, Dobber etc.

 

[egelband]

Pretty good game. Caps have too much talent for us line for line, and our defense isn't good enough to keep their forwards at bay forever. A level of consistency from shift to shift and game to game is what this team still needs to build
Good to see Strome pot one, he's looked ok so far in his Rangers career.
Unsure why ADA needed to sit this one

This is how I feel. Though I’d substitute “talent” for “experience”. This was a fun back-and-forth game. As with most of these games, it could have gone either way. The rangers are way ahead of schedule and already a handful for any opponent. Whether they put it together right, it’s still up in the air. But so far, so good. Lots of good stuff happening.

 

[The S5]

Detroit was gonna pick him at 9

Okay, first, that is speculation. Second, even at 9, he was drafted well ahead of the vast majority of scouting evaluations.

So was Chytil. So was Scheifele.

 

[egelband]

I think Chytil looks pooped.

 

[Machinehead]

Absolutely

I'm just telling the truth.

Wouldn't be the first time you made shit up. I mean all people would need to do is take a peak at you Twitter page. Come at me.

Don't you start as well. For f***s sake!

 

[Machinehead]

Ah, I forgot about Scheifele.

There's an elite center taken right around where we should pick.

Happy to help

 

[Larrybiv]

Who's freaking out? Kravtsov, Chytil, and Miller had the right sort of thinking behind them. I want Gorton, for the most part, to keep doing what he's doing.

Just, enough goalies already.

Totally agree on the goalie thing. For the life of me, I dont know why we used that "extra pick we got" for a damned goalie in Lindblom. Please somebody tell me there was a specific "reason" as to WHY! Halverson seems a bust, but are they not happy or SURE about Shesty? If thats the case......i still say it was a waste of a pick.......Allaire can make anyone turn it right around, if they had the talent to begin with.
Shouldve used that pick on someone else, and send Halverson to Allaire school of goaltenders.

 

[Justin17]

There is a 2018 NHL draft preview video that basically confirms it.

 

[The S5]

So was Chytil. So was Scheifele.

Sure, we can use do this all day. Bottom line is Lias hasn't shown much to date. My original point was using LIas as and example of the Rangers draft history.
You use Scheifele, which is a perfect example. An organization overdrafts a guy and makes people revisit what they were thinking. Seem just the opposite with the Rangers.

 

[Larrybiv]

Incoming goalie pick in 1st round

You know, people get banned for stuff like that, you do know that.......right?

 

[The S5]

A preview that confirms it? So teams are now showing their hand predraft. Where is this video confirming?

 

[Machinehead]

@PlamsUnlimited could be our goaltender as long as we have Allaire

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

You know, people get banned for stuff like that, you do know that.......right?

I've threadbanned but not for that. Was that supposed to scare me?

 

[egelband]

I thought Strome was very noticeable in this game and had my vote well deserved, but not the greatest game by our youngest prospects this evening, but it`s a learning process.

I think Strome is a nice player. Maybe not a dynamic scorer but he plays pretty stoutly and has more of a scoring touch than most fourth liners. I guess his salary is a bit of a ball-and-chain though.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Ah, I forgot about Scheifele.

I’ve said this for going on five years now...the Rangers don’t NEED to draft their McDavid. They just need to find their Schiefele.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Hey now I'm not sure if I like that tone
