Prospect Info: Prospect Poll: NYR Prospect #9

[Beacon]

I let the previous run the full 48 hours until it closed to allow someone to take a clear lead, and Cristoval Nieves did it. Pavel Buchnevich is the first 2013 draftee to get into the poll.

Please write who you want added to the poll, and give a reason for it. This makes the discussion here more lively.

Hrivik. He's NHL or nearly NHL ready and has good upside. Add duclair.

 

[Beacon]

I have a feeling this will be another close round, maybe a tie-breaker.

Voted for Hrivik because he's doing great in the development camp after a very good rookie season in the AHL.

Add Allen because I figure the Rangers wouldn't give him almost $2 million a year for 3 years for no reason.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Hrivik, add Fogarty

 

[nyr2k2]

Hrivik.

Sure, add Allen.

 

[The Gloaming]

Hrivik should run away with this one.

Add Allen.

 

[NYR Viper]

Hrivik AINEC for this one. He should run away with this one.

Add Allen

 

[Net Front Presence]

Hrivik.

Add Allen.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Hrivik. Add Allen. Although I do think St. Croix will be a player for us one day. Hrivik simply seems closer to being a NHL player.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Hrivik. Add Duclair.

 

[Let Blaine Die]

Hrivik, add Tony "Put Up Ya" Dukes.

 

[broadwayblue]

Hrivik. Add Allen. Although I do think St. Croix will be a player for us one day. Hrivik simply seems closer to being a NHL player.

How does that make him a more valuable prospect. These polls are ridiculous.

Hrivik has legitimate skill. He slows the play down and has a good 2-way game.

 

[eco's bones]

Hrivik. Allen.

 

[Fitzy]

Hrivik, add Calle Andersson.

 

[CTRanger]

Hrivik

Add Allen

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

We have a lot of very solid prospects. The emergence of Lindberg and Fasth strengthen what was an alright group from last year, and Duclair and Buchnevich seem to be good pick ups, too.

Props to the organization. Nieves at 8, after having a really good year in the NCAA as a freshman, shows that we still have a lot of talented guys to look forward to.

Add Duclair.

What's Allen full name? I'm completely blanking on who this guy is.

Conor Allen, UDFA defenseman from UMass-Amherst.

From an HF article:

Conor Allen, D, UMass-Amherst Minutemen (Hockey East)
Signed as a free agent, March 29th, 2013

A star athlete and student, when Conor Allen decided to leave Umass-Amherst, he was in high demand. The 6'1, 203 pound blueliner was exactly the type of defenseman that would fit into the Rangers' mold, so New York was delighted to sign Allen to a two-year entry-level deal in late March. Expected to be a two-way defenseman, who has a good shot on the power play, can play a physical game, and loves to compete for the puck, Allen posted five goals, 14 assists in 33 games for the Minutemen this past season, while accumulating 14 penalty minutes and a plus-one rating. The 23-year old will get a good look in training camp next fall, but is likely to begin the season in Connecticut.
