As you all know, we are blessed to have two developmental teams in New York with which we send players from time to time. So question time has come - which team has produced us with more talent?
Admirals/Crunch:
Kucherov
Vasilevskiy
Johnson
Palat
Gourde
Killorn
Cernak
Joseph
Paquette
Erne
Koekkoek
Rangers:
McDonagh
Stralman
Miller
Girardi
Boyle
Callahan
Edit: For completion purposes, I'll put the players who came straight through/other FA.
Lightning (no Syracuse/Rangers/Trade/FA)
Stamkos
Hedman
Point
Sergachev (acquired through trade, but as a 19 year-old made the team so I'm counting him)
Other Means (FA/Non-Rangers Call-up)
Dominigue
Martel
Coburn
Players/Prospects who kind of come from both:
Masin (from a pick that was traded for a pick that we got in the MSL-Callahan trade)
Stephens (same as above)
Cirelli (even more attenuated - originally a Florida pick sent to the Islanders which was sent to us in exchange for a Rangers pick we got in the MSL trade).
So with that in mind - who is the best farm team? We got a star RW and goalie from the Crunch, but we got a #1 and #2 Dman from the Rangers. I think this is closer than it looks!
Edit: Holy shit - we've acquired more players from the Rangers than we've had as draft+junior to the NHL. That's... kind of crazy.
