Prospect Info: Rangers Prospect Thread (Player Stats/Info in Post #2; Updated 10.7.20)

23-and-under is the way to go, IMO. Every cut-off is somewhat arbitrary, but I've always like 23 as the age. 23-24 is about the age, according to the statistical analyses I've seen, where guys start entering their prime.

Kakko
Chytil
Barron
Gautheir
Howden
Lindgren
Fox
Miller
Jones
Lundkvist
Skinner
Ktavtsov
Andersson
Henriksson
Gettinger
Edstrom
Pajuniemi
Rueschhoff
Richards
Khodorenko
Rykov
Hajek
Robertson
Reunanen
Huska
Wall

There are other guys, too, like Newell, Ronning, Fontaine, Crawley, Ragnarsson, Kjellberg, et al, that technically would be included.

If you stretched it out to 24-and-under, you could include DeAngelo, Shesterkin, Georgiev, and Lemieux.

Anyway, point is that yes, we have guys that should be included on a list of young talent that wouldn't likely be considered prospects. And I would take our 23-and-under group and say it measures up to just about any other team in the league, particularly once we go an add Lafreniere to the mix.

and after those 32 ... Aaltonen, Ciccolini, Hughes, Elmer, Sjalin and ... Mr Leedahl
that's like a gazillion young skaters -
damn fine reboot ...

I don't think it's really new found offense, it's just continued to develop.

Looking back at the 2018 scouting reports, none of this is completely out of left field. His offensive abilities were mentioned, they were just seen as not as developed or polished as someone like Boqvist.

Having said that, I wouldn't expect amazing offensive numbers from Lundkvist. But I think 40+ points isn't unrealistic.

Depends on PP time I suspect.

Defenseman production really should be parsed out between ES and PP points IMO, because man advantage ice time is so important. A defenseman who doesnt play the PP getting 25+ points is pretty solid. A defenseman getting tons of PP time and not hitting 30 points is pretty disappointing.

Andersson with another 5 on 3 goal in preseason.

Clearly, he is a 5 on 3 specialist.

 

[Joey Bones]

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but Henriksson is on the top line LW for Frolunda.

 

[Edge]

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but Henriksson is on the top line LW for Frolunda.

I actually kind of like his chances a little more as a wing than a center.

 

[kovazub94]

He was listed in this spot against HV71 too.

like for "5 on 3 specialist" : )

Henriksson centered Frölunda’s No 1 line in both preseason games in a mini tournament (Strömstad Hockey Classic). Lundqvist didn’t play so I don’t think he is slotted to center that line, but he had been on it all 3 games this season. He had 1 assist in 2 games. 1+1 in 3 games in preseason so far.

The lineup was:
Elmer Söderblom – Karl Henriksson – Max Friberg
Mats Rosseli Olsen - Nicklas Lasu - Joel Mustonen
Patrik Carlsson - Johan Sundström – Linus Nässén
Simon Hjalmarsson – Jan Mursak – Lucas Raymond
Theodor Niederbach

But the 4th is basically the 1b line.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

She wants to have a Zoom call with me on Sunday to discuss my comments on her ranking haha. I think the Lundkvist vs Miller debate will take up most of our time

Did this happen?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Did this happen?

Rescheduled for Thursday.

[egelband]

This is very accurate. I would almost compare Lundkvist’s shot to a baseball pitcher who can throw a ball with a lot of movement. It’s not so much the velocity, so much as it can be really hard to get a read on what’s coming.

Got the Bobby Ojeda ‘dead fish’?

Sounds a bit like McDonagh.

 

[egelband]

Is he from the 60s??

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Any idea why Reunanen isnt in the Lukko lineup?

 

[cwede]

Any idea why Reunanen isnt in the Lukko lineup?

i don't recall seeing that NYR had loaned him for this year - have you seen that?

EDIT: no mention re this coming season at EP
Tarmo Reunanen at eliteprospects.com

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Rangers have not loaned him to Lukko (yet). The decision to not loan him to Lukko could mean they think he's close to making the team in December

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Thanks guys, didnt realize NYR would have to reloan him this season

 

[Leetch3]

can't they loan him with the option to recall him like kravtsov? or is that based on the contract VK signed?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

If Lukko agrees to that, sure. Maybe they don't want that. Maybe Lukko only wants Reunanen if they get him for the whole season.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Thanks guys, didnt realize NYR would have to reloan him this season

And he cannot trigger a loan himself as his EAC was only for year 1 of his ELC

they dumped Day, passed on Gross, loaned Rykov to K,
Robertson and Jones not turning pro, K'Andre likely not ready for 'prime time'
Reunanen seems a key piece of the LHD, in fact just plain D, pipeline for this coming season

Reunanen has a good shot to be one of those players who never appeared in the top of our prospect polls and yet has a 10+ year career. I could envision that quite easily.

 

[usekakkorightquinn]

Reunanen will never play a game here. The Rangers tiny defense doesn't need to get smaller. TDA, Jones and Reunanen will all be moved. Only small defenseman I see them going forward with for years are Lundkvist and Fox. JD and Gorton are going to toughen up and size up this defense soon.
