Nanne scored the opening goal for Minnesota.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Good news! We can all exhale

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

And here’s Nico Gross’ goal

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Definitely wouldn’t surprise me. With Hunter Skinner seeming playing well for London, there doesn’t seem to be any pick to complain about from the 2019 draft class for now

"Should've gone with Heinola at 2"

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Nanne scored the opening goal for Minnesota.

Not bad for a player in his d+17 season hahaha. I can't even remember what year we drafted him but it's been a while

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Been saying this since he was drafted, Wall is has a real shot to be a starter in the NHL.

He's 3rd behind Geoegiev and Shesh.

Any chance he gets an ELC? Is he even Rangers "property" any longer?

He's still our property, chances of an ELC seem pretty slim.

Players who attend college will have their rights retained until they graduate. As long as he's in college we own his rights. It feels like he's been in college for a decade. Van Wilder style

 

[nyr2k2]

Does seem like forever that we've had him, with the D+1 year in the USHL, missing a year with his illness, then sitting out a year due to transfer rules. And yet, he'll graduate at 24, which isn't remotely unusual for an NCAA player.

I also doubt we sign him, but pretty amazing to see him playing well after everything he’s gone through

It's a nice story, for sure. I hope they at least give him an ATO and let him skate a couple pro games, take a look at him, let some other organizations get a look at him. Even though he's way behind the curve and completely buried in the organization, he does have some nice skills. Great skater, good shot, good passer with good vision, and his defense has become pretty good, as well.

I know we've been down this road before, but I still slightly prefer Huska. I like the raw skills better. I know Wall has the edge in actual performance over their careers, but Huska has played on terrible teams basically everywhere he's been (NCAA, International, AHL) and Wall has obviously played on much better teams at Lowell. I wonder what things would look like if their situations had been reversed.

Anyway, whether you prefer one or the other, it's nice to know there are options behind Shesterkin and Georgiev in the not-so-distant future. And that doesn't even include Lindbom, who has impressed me when I've seen him this year.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Here’s the UMass highlights, Jones’ goal is on there, but he’s completely out of frame when he shoots it

2014...agreed it feels like 100 years ago but same year we took shesterkin...man that was a bad draft

 

[nyr2k2]

2014...agreed it feels like 100 years ago but same year we took shesterkin...man that was a bad draft

And it was going to be worse--after we walked from Mantha he had a good year and then a good pro debut season. Had he not had the eye injury, he could be in the NHL.

Was it though? It's a lot harder to get something out of a draft when you don't have a high pick

 

[Leetch3]

we aren't signing anyone from that draft class except Igor...well we'll sign brendan lemieux but thats different.

of course it wasn't just us...we didn't pick till 59 and after that there weren't very many good players. obviously tb hit the jackpot with braydon point but there are an awful lot of guys that 5 years later have yet to play a single game. so even in hindsight it was a pretty weak draft.

 

[eco's bones]

FWIW Nanne and Lettieri I believe are cousins.

Gross is kind of putting himself back in the prospect picture. He should do well this year though.

Have a lot of hope for Zac Jones.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Is gross an overage player this season? If not he’s having quite an impressive start.

 

[True Blue]

7 years of college down the drain. Might as well join the Peace Corps.

 

[Leetch3]

he's 19

 

[Mikos87]

Jones imo was the steal of the 2019 draft. Going to have a monster year in college.

The 2019 draft was a good one for the Rangers imo.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

he's 19

Then he appears to be having quite the breakout season in juniors
