Prospect Info: Hunter Skinner, RD, 4th round, 112nd overall, 2019

Booger Picker, haha come on.. no one would name their kid that, right?!

Nah. They would name him Alfie though.
 
Least favorite pick.

Not because of the player, he's a good raw prospect, but the others that went in this round seemed way ahead of this player. 7 of the 10 previous picks were guys I had ranked higher, as well as every player drafted in round 4 after him.

Case McCarthy going to the Devs ! :thumbd:
 
I would view this pick as being similar to taking a kid like Korczak - a complimentary, do the little things type of defenseman, with size and reach.

Arguably not as far along as similar kids going in the second, but an example of a prospect for whom you do a bit more projecting.

And, as we’ve talked about regarding spacing things out, is it a bad thing if this kid takes a full four years to properly develop?

Absolutely not.

The Rangers are one of two, maybe several teams who will get an instant payoff from this draft.

Then you have a couple of guys who could be on the radar in two or three years. Then a couple of guys who could be on the radar in three or four years.

It’s a pretty balanced draft.

The difference between an A and an A+ for me? The ability to get a team to close a deal at the draft.

I would probably have to go back to 2008 to find a draft that I feel as good about as this one. Last year’s 1st round was excellent, but round two will always piss me off.
