Obviously add Barron.

Miller over Lundkvist simply because he already had a chance to play a full season with the Rangers. Both have sky high potential (so obviously they will be moved before or just about when they start fulfilling their potential. Yeah, I'm bitter).

Miller. Add Barron.

While I think there's a good chance that Kravy and Lundkvist eventually end up as better players, I do place a ton of value on NHL experience like Miller has.
 
I thought this would be an easy one for Kravtsov since I saw his flashes in the NHL. Makes me even more excited for Nils.

As excited as I am for Kravtsov, the games where they went head to head, Lundkvist was so much better. It's of course a small sample size, but with Lundkvist there's more than just his league games where he exceeded expectations.

Lundkvist is at the same stage in his career as Adam Fox was when he made his NHL debut (D+4 season). I don't expect him to be as good, but he definitely has the talent to be an Ekholm-type influence on his team.

Nashville for years had so many good D-men that some 2nd pair guys would possibly be 1st pair guys on other teams. If we can create that kind of depth for ourselves, we are in for a treat!

Well it’s clearly Miller we already saw what he can do at this level and the upside is absurd. He really shouldn’t be on this list at all at this point

then I’d say Lundkvist then kravtsov
 
At this time next season, I believe that those who currently have Miller above Lundqvist will have reversed their positions.

I also beleve that Miller is their most overrated prospect and I realize I'm on a lonely island in that belief.

Hoping I'm wrong because if he's as good as some of you believe, the Rangers are a lock to make the playoffs and once you're in the playoffs, anything can happen.

Im not as bearish as you but am probably somewhere in between the two camps. I thought Miller was great his first 5-10 games but then was "eh" most of the season. He's young, raw, and has potential to improve greatly, but I wasnt wowed by any means. I say that recognizing he has limited experience playing D.
 
Our 2018 first round picks are all still remarkably close, but Miller has to be the pick here if he’s eligible. Prior to last season, he was about at the level of prospect as Lundkvist and Kravtzov, but then he showed he’s at least a top 4 d, if not better in the nhl. You’re hoping Lundkvist or Kravtzov has the season next year that Miller just had, and while their ceilings are similar, Millers floor is now much higher.

By this logic, Jones would be ahead of Schneider but I doubt anyone will vote that way.

Not saying Miller isn't in the running for this spot, but the only reason Lundkvist wasn't a Ranger last season was a global pandemic interferring with his plans.

Showing you can succeed at the the NHL level at the NHL level is different than showing you're ready for the NHL based on your play somewhere else. If you think that the upside is similar, I think it's logical to the defer to the guy who has actually done it in the NHL. The circumstances preventing the other guy from having that same opportunity don't change anything. It's a different story if you think Lundkvist is head and shoulders above Miller in terms of upside.

Oh, if players are even in terms of upside, then yes. NHL experience should be a tie-breaker.
