I suppose the problem with my post is I said 'drafting' rather than developing.

Well so the first point here is that developing a kid isn't precisely the same as drafting them. Trading for a kid while they are still a prospect should be considered developing them, if we see something in them the team trading them did not.

In that sense, McDonagh, Lindgren, Hajek, John Moore have all been developed by the rangers. Girardi was absolutely developed by us, by being the first team to reach out and see his potential. Neal Pionk and Matt Gilroy were also developed by us, though a number of teams were vying for their services. They improved as Rangers players.

Then you throw in Sauer and Del Zotto, who both absolutely made an impact for the NY Rangers, just had their careers here shortened for two distinct reasons. It's unquestionably a better track record than at forward unless you limit development purely to drafted-to-veteran Rangers tracks. Admittedly, I used drafting as a shorthand, but I kind of meant to say it seems as though we've seen more successful prospect to NHL regular transitions at D than at forward, despite the fact that only 33% of NHL skating positions are on the blueline.

Well if you include Sauer and Del Zotto you have to include guys like Miller, Kreider, and Buchnevich.

Pretty cool having Fox, Lindgren, Miller, Lundkvist, Robertson, Schneider and Jones, and even the guys below them with Hajek, Tarmo and Skinner. Lots of decisions to make on who to keep, who to use for trades, I look forward to watching it all play out.

Garand, meanwhile, is off to a bit of an inauspicious start. He is 4-1, which is nice, but with a 2.98 GAA and .872 SV%. In only one of his five games has he posted a SV% greater than .900. I can generally only do one WHL game per night, so I haven't checked in on him to know if it's just bad luck or if he's struggling. He's surely still a bit rusty.

so if i read this right,
Liiga regular season ends next Tuesday
TPS(Paju) gets a bye and KooKoo(Aaltonen, if/when..) very likely to qualify for Wild card round
OR please, what am i missing ...
Schedule | Liiga
2020–21 Liiga season - Wikipedia

Yes, in the preliminary round 7 will play 11 and 8 will play 9. As of now that would be KalPa vs Vaasan Sport and Lahden Pelicans vs Kookoo.

The winners are then joining the teams in the top-6 for the quarter finals.

With a lot of games being postponed, they use points per game as the ranking. They will not be able to get all teams on the same no of GP.

Allaire isn't allowed to work with our goalies while they're in college, is that right?
not sure of exact rules,
i know that the NYR player dev guys are in touch w college players and coaches during their college careers
and there will (reputedly) be a prospect camp
(recall recent report, that ZJones small but high-scoring UMass forward teammate is expected at NYR Prospect Camp ...)

We are loaded. It wasn’t that long ago that the cupboard was bare. This feels much better.

Do we think Pajuniemi will make it? What's his ceiling?

He has the talent to make the NHL but I don't see him forcing his way on the team just yet. I could see them go the Reunanen route and sign him this summer, then loan out to TPS.

He would then come over in 2022 and start in Hartford. He still has some areas in his game to work on, mainly defensively.

Is there a precedent for us to sign him and loan him to an SHL or KHL team instead?

Not bringing him over next year is fine by me, but I would like for him to take a step up in competition all the same.
