Kitchener Rangers 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

[East Avenue Bully]

Is this for North America or overall?

Overall

From the article
The real story of this preliminary list is the dominant presence of North America. Of the 32 players listed, only six play outside of North America! And of those six, one is confirmed to be coming to the WHL in Radim Mrtka, while another, Ivan Ryabkin, is rumoured to be considering playing in the USHL. Simply put, it’s not a strong crop of prospects out of Europe.

Reid is going to continue to rise through those rankings. I swear every week he looks like a better player.

It's not a strong year period. Romano 1st round? Lol come on man. He isn't even a center. Lol!

Unless I have been viewing the lineups and the games wrong all year he sure looks like he plays centre to me...

lol….he is playing center with Swick and Misa. He is a very good 2 way center as well.

Yeah...lack of options.

Yeah...lack of options.

He is 1st line center on the 1st place team in the OHL as a 17 year old. Man….you have some really strange takes.

Pobezal who received an honourable mention might want to consider playing here on Kitchener sooner than later. Or not.

 

[digicamo]

Yeah...lack of options.

Would have taken just as much time to come on here and congratulate Reid and ignore Romano’s ranking. Or have you forgotten no one agrees with your takes here?

Good to see the young guys get some recognition!

Chrenko 2007 and Pozebal 2008 I didn’t realize have played some games together over the past 3 years. It would be great to get them over here to start next year.

Great article getting to know Avry Anstis a bit more in The Record today.

He's aiming to make his debut by the end of the month and had his eyes set on the Rangers during his draft season as the place he would want to go in the OHL. His agent (Sean Coffey) and Mike McKenzie were apparently teammates in college!
