Confirmed with Link: New York Rangers 4th Round pick #98 OA - Tarmo Reunanen (LD)

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Reunanen is an offensive minded defenceman who can carry the puck, dangle through traffic and set up his teammates. While he relies on his offensive skills, he is not a defensive liability. Poised and calm in his own end. Doesn't shy away from physical play.

Can't go wrong with the Fins right now.

Hasn't played many games this year

This is where our Euro Scouts get to work and find us gems!

Looks like they want puck-movers on D. Now dump Staal and Girardi.

Tarmo Reunanen. He was in the same conversations with Olli Juolevi in 2014-2015 as Juolevi only outscored him by 2 points in 2 more games last season, but this season Reunanen was injured for a long time and his draft stock plummeted.

That's the Rangers MO.

Seems like another pick where they go for the talent with underlying issues (in this case injuries).

I've really got no issues with pick like this. I'd rather go for straight talent than a safe pick who'll be a bottom 6/bottom pair dman in all likelihood. We're in dire need of higher end talent that if even one pans out it's a major victory.

So you think he dropped mostly due to injuries or was talent part of the reason?

Don't fall in love with him, or he'll end up in Carolina.

They take all the Finnish players I am a fan of. First it was Saarela, traded to them. Then I wanted us to draft Kuokkanen, drafted by Carolina.

They are really well run.

Liking these profiles so far...

The general impression I got was that he'd easily be a first round talent if he hadn't been injured.

TARMO REUNANEN
elite vision from the back end … true quarterback on the break-out … composed, accurate and calculated with the puck … very intelligent … good mobility … aggressive mindset … likes to challenge opponents

I like taking the guys that drop, rather than the guys that rise late.

So we drafted two left dmen... Our strongest positions..

Can we get a right handed dman plz! Just 1

 

[ijuka]

"Very complete. In his own end, he shines with his outstanding ability of reading the game and in the offensive zone, he's very good with the puck" or along those lines.

Of course, he's a small player so saying that he's a first round talent doesn't mean he'd go in the first round.

was he hurt this year? doesn't look like he played many games

 

[Beacon]

Right or left?

Oh come on, you know the Rangers don't believe in RDs. Pretty sure the front office got the news that only LDs are allowed to play in the NHL. Either that or they believe McIlrath is such a beast he will be playing all 60 minutes per game.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Puck-movers on the backend have high value in today's NHL. He likely won't stay a Ranger. Just don't trade him for Eric Staal.

By the time these guys are ready to force their way into the NHL (if ever), the team will probably look completely different than it does now.
