OT: Let's Remember Some Guys

Staple, at Athletic, doing features on the top prospects having great season in NA
(so far, Cuylle, Korczak, Garand - to come Othmann, Berard)

anyway, the articles mention 2 very different one-upon-a-time NYR draft picks
Marc Savard is Cuylle's HC, [round 4 #91 overall 1995 NHL Entry Draft
Shaun Clouston is Garand's HC [round 3 #53 overall 1986 NHL Entry Draft - after Leetch, ahead of Janssens and Turcotte
 
I forgot he passed so young & just clicked his wiki page & randomly one of his photos is during the 1 game he played as an NYR. I was in high school when they got him & barely remember that.
Seems so sad....had all the potential and was a 170 pt scorer his draft year . Sometimes it just not align for some guys .
 
How come Mathieu Schneider only played two seasons here ? Was it money ...he played for a long time after he left the Rangers...although he did play for a lot of clubs in his career . Was he out of shape when we got him ?
 
This isn't a guy but y'all remember the entire full season the Rangers had a better goal differential shorthanded with Rick Nash than at even strength with Tanner Glass?

From HockeyDB's (M)Schneider page:

Jeff Ulmer randomly popped into mind.

Also, not a Ranger, but Hakan Loob. "That was loob job!"
 
Was trading Ulf Dahlen for Gartner worth it ? Dahlen had a great career in the NHL .....but he also moved around a lot it seemed . Played over 900 games .

usually not a fan, of trading productive 23 year olds, for 30 year olds
but Gartner sure did produce

Jan Marek, who had a tremendous career in the Czech and Russian leagues, then tragically passed away in the Locomotiv plane crash.
