He has all the tools, determination and heart to succeed as a pro.
He’s buil right for a 5’10” forward.
I believe he is more skillful than Callahan.
What needs to be seen is his physicality against heavy NHL teams.
I’m in no rush to have him play on the Rangers this season (downside vs. upside)
If the Rangers find themselves in need this season and into the playoffs I would go safe and go Edstrom, Rempe, Belize and Blidh before Berard.
Hopefully he wins a spot out of camp next season.
So early to define this player. Maybe Sykora has an upside of a Jan Erixon defensively.
Offensively he might reach Jesper Fast level.
On the downside he could turn out to be Paul Broten.
Needs at least another full year IMHO.

Wylie’s is a pain in the ass with his effort level but he is so well trained with body position and stick positioning that he don’t take penalties. He uses his legs and body to get in position.

Berard’s body language after scoring indicates that he’s become a team leader on ice and probably in the locker room. Great to see!

Korczak's goal was a thing of beauty for a center. Cover a passing lane on a backcheck, intercept the pass, move it down and dash to the net for a tip in.
His development is important with the lack of C options in the pool. Laba and BMB get more talk, but Korczak has promise too.
First full WHL season was 15 in 50. He's got 17 in 50 for his first full AHL season at 21. His brother got a good run on Vegas this season, took him a few AHL seasons to get there. Might see a similar thing with Ryder.

There’s a lot to like about this play from Korczak. He clearly is getting more comfortable in the AHL compared to the start of the season. Good to see especially in the context of him needing to step up after Hartford lost their centers axis strength via callups and injuries. Remember that Korczak is on a smaller side so being able to adjust to play in bigger and more physical style of the AHL was important.

Pack going to overtime after having to kill two late penalties. Edstrom leading the pk unit doing a great job.
Garand doing pretty good job as well in back to back starts on consecutive nights.

not sure been going back and forth with the Ranger game. Great effort by Berard at end there to save high end chance by Bridgeport
Tough loss in shootout.

Petan is a great trade for Hartford. they desperately needed a top 6 C, of which they had none before.

Hopefully Nash will be back and the addition of Belzile who is a legitimate top-line forward will help with their depth

Good for Domingue. With another year of development for Garand, they'll be going into the season with 4 pro goalies capable of playing an NHL game. We've seen how important goaltending depth can be with how variable the position is

I really like how The Rangers are identifying team guys and keeping them in the fold and happy. Showing respect to these guys is setting a great tone.

This has been missing for many years nd it’s extremely important. It sets the tone for the young guys.

Yep. Puts value on the character part. Also tells the vet im this case he doesn’t have to battle the young player a threat to his job for example. And it really costs the team nothing.
