i wont be shocked if Rangers draft Nick Ritchie brother of Brett Ritchie (Stars 2ed round pick)
http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=138947
where is this guy expected to go?? with lack of size and grit, Rangers better take a look at him.. has some bloodlines as well..
He's easily top 10. Will definitely not be around when we pick. He's at steady #9, but will most likely move up a few spots. Depending on who's there, I could see the Flames selecting him. Burke loves those type of players. He could be great and a solid choice for Winnipeg, too.
Nick Ritchie won't last past Brian Burke and the Flames. There's no way Burkie passes on him if he's still there at Calgary's pick. He won't last past 9th overall, IMO.
Exactly my point.
Provided we still have our 1st this season, there are some late risers this year that I think may knock some guys down that I previously thought would be unobtainable with our pick.
Honka will be gone by 15, as much as I want to add him. A guy like McCann or Ehlers may be right back in our wheelhouse, though.
I really want Honka, but I'm sure he'll be taken before we pick. McCann is a reasonable pick, but could also wind up being picked before our selection. Ehlers is an easy top 10 pick now. Highly doubt he'd be where we are. Some guys I can see realistically (besides Honka and McCann) are Milano, Tuch, Larkin, Pastrnak, Kempe. I would be pissed if we pick McKeown, DeAngelo, or Schmaltz.
I think people ought to start jumping on the Dylan Larkin band-wagon now so they don't have to wait until we pick in order to do it. Kid has Rangers pick written all over him.
Larkin is solid, but is a bit week for a power forward at 6'0"/172lbs, per elite prospects. He's a U of Michigan commit though so we'll wait and see. I think we'd pick someone like Milano, Tuch, or Honka.
Rangers should draft Jordan Greenway in the 2015 draft since they need size.. oh wait they dont have a 1st. let's hope he slips to the 2ed..
http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=170297&encode=TRUE 21 pts 9 goals in 27 games for a 17 year old is not bad. just turned 17 in feb but is 6'4 190 at the moment..
No way in hell we snag him. He's already considered a top 10 prospect for that draft and we also don't have a 1st (as you already mentioned). He's going to be great, but even if we do end up getting a 1st, it will most likely be a late pick knowing how strong that draft will be. No one will want to trade those picks because of the huge talent in there. No way he falls in the 2nd.
