[Jeffrey Pedler]

Is this the best draft class for a team recent memory? How many other teams are playing 4 guys from the same draft class?

As a rangers fan I say no.

Laf
Schneider
Cullye
Bedard

And if you include Cuylle and Berard there's six of them!

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

What is "recent"? Because Dallas 2017 beats that for quality.

 

[Just Linda]

C'mon now, not even close.

The Stars had the 2017 draft where they drafted a top d, a starting goalie, and a winger that had 109pts in a single season.

Good draft for the Rags but not even top 10 of the last decade.

 

[lakeshirts37]

Stars 2017 beat them for sure. Dallas drafting has been superb. 2021 was a great year for them too

2017
Oettinger
Heiskanen
Robertson

I agree 2017 stars top 2020 rangers, but I think this is just being a hater. Would love to see your top 10 draft classes from 2014-2024

The real difference maker was a 4th line depth forward lol.

From that same draft class ottawa got

Sanderson
Stutzle
Grieg
Kleven

And if you want to throw 6 games in as a qualifier lol you'd add 3 other guys to their class


Also if you count it

Faber
Byfield
Laferriere
Grans

for LA

 

[Romang67]

I'd say 2015 was in recent memory, and I'd sure as hell take McDavid and whatever other players the Oilers took in 2015 over that group.

So no.

 

[Soundgarden]

In terms of quantity Nashville drafted Trenin, Novak, Richard, Carrier, Vejmelka without a 1st rounder in '15.

 

[Maraz]

Is that even the best draft class from that year?

Stutzle, Sanderson, Greig, Kleven, Reinhardt, Merilainen

Laf

Bedard

It's a terrific draft but you should NOT have traded Bedard to Chicago. Imagine what it would have been like if you'd kept him.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Is that even the best draft class from that year?

Stutzle, Sanderson, Greig, Kleven, Reinhardt, Merilainen

Could have stopped after Stutzle and Sanderson and it's still better than the Rangers class.

Hell, I wouldn't trade Raymond for the Rangers entire draft class of that year.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Senators had a better 2020 crop of drafted players than the Rangers 2020.

 

[Just Linda]

Stars 2017 beat them for sure. Dallas drafting has been superb. 2021 was a great year for them too

2017

Top of my head

Coyotes 2021 draft looks like it will turn out great, Guenther, Doan, Moser, and a few other potential depth pieces. Their 2015 one was good too.

The Oilers 2015 draft had McDavid, Jones, Bear, and Marino.

Buffalo had Reinhart and 3 other NHLers come from the 2014 draft.

Carolina had a 2015 that produced Hanifan, Roy, Aho and a couple other depth pieces.

The 2015 draft gave Columbus 6 NHL players, Werenski being the best.

Boston fumbled the 2015 first round but produced 4 legit NHLers in 2014 (lead by Pasta) and 6 in 2015 (Carlo, Lauzon, Vlader)

Isles had 2014 with Sorokin and Toews and 2 others.

Detroit's 2021 draft is on pace to be a stud.

Minnesota had the Kaprisov draft in 2015 that had 3 other NHLers.

2016 Flames had Matthew Tkachuk and Adam Fox with a few others who made the show.

St Louis had a really good draft run from 2014-2017, the 2017 draft left by Thomas was better than the Rags 2020 one.

Vegas has their initial draft, Suzuki and Hague were taken among others

I'd throw in Ottawa (Stutzle, Grieg, Sanderson, Kleven) and LAK (Byfield, Faber, Laferriere) from 2020

 

[BB88]

This has to be sarcasm right?

They had a 1st overall pick and got a 60 point player out of it

The other? Blahh

man I think you are really underestimating Cuylle. I just looked at these drafts you mentioned and there are 4 that are definitely better. Some of these I dont even think are close but maybe youre valuing 4th liners more than me.

2021 coyotes - maybe
2015 coyotes - no
2015 oilers - yes
2014 sabres - no
2015 hurricanes - yes
2015 cbjs - no
2014 boston - no
2014 isles - no
2021 detroit - doubtful
2015 wild - even
2016 flames - yes
2017 blues - no
2017 vegas - no
2020 kings - even
2020 sens - yes

The other? Blahh

Blahh? Cuylle is on pace for 30 goals - You’ve clearly never watched him play. Schneider is a top4 dman. And Lafreniere is obviously not just a 60 pt player if you knew his deployment. Give me a break man

Red Wings would. Rangers would not.

I think you're overrating Cuylle.

For example, are you saying Cuylle-Laf is similar to Ek-Kaprizov??

Or Werenski-Gavrikov?

or even close to Pasta+4 other NHLers?

Or toews-sorokin?

Or Faber-Laferriere-Byfield?

I'd also throw in 2014 Van: Demko, McCann, Forsling, Virtanen

 

[NVious]

No wonder the Hawks ain't good, Bedard has to play for friggin two teams.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

Not when they took Laf 1st.
