Do you have any feelings or know of any on Gettinger? I'm a big fan of his skillset and wonder why he hasn't gotten consistent chances.

Rangers view him as a longer term project.

I think he's a potential fourth line option, the challenge will be beating out the competition. He doesn't bring the different dynamic that someone like Lemieux brings, and he doesn't have the versatility of skill of someone like Barron. So I think he's going to have to figure out his niche.

IMO Gettinger, while I like him, doesn't really do anything notable. For as big as he is, he's not super physical. He's not an agitator. He's not going to score a lot of points. Skating is mediocre. Commitment to defense is good, but the actual result is just okay. Even in front of the net where you think he'd thrive, he doesn't.

He's an okay player who lacks a standout skill. He could probably also be okay on our fourth line.
 
Libor Hajek being loaned to HC Kometa Brno. Seems like there are a lot of players being loaned to European teams today vis-a-vis Elite Prospects.

yeah teams are trying to make sure their prospects get to play with the uncertainty about NA leagues. I'd imagine the Rangers are exploring options for others as well if the players are willing to go.

Pronman from the Athletic had us at #1 Prospect ranking last year at this time. Well his rankings have been running the last couple weeks and he’s going to have us top 4 at worst again and this is WITHOUT Lafrenyr.

some changes this year. It takes into account all players in the organization 22 or younger And this time it obviously is happening before the draft so he’ll update this right after. If we aren’t at #1 already we will be come Oct 6th

Yup. Unless I’m missing something, the remaining four are NYR, NJD, TOR, and VAN.

Told you all we’d be top 5. Frankly, given those four names, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t have us top two.

Which is pretty amazing to consider when you then realize that’s before the #1 and #22 OA picks in this year’s draft...
 
I was surprised he had LA and Ottawa as low as he did. Ottawa will surely move up after the draft to a top 3 spot. Not sure NJ deserves to be so high. That will be an interesting read. They’ve got 3 first rounders this year too.

Toronto I wouldn’t think of having a great group. Vancouver for sure when you account for the 22 and under ranking.

They don't.

That may change in a month but honestly their collection of young talent is nothing special.
 
Has to be carried by Matthews. Sandin and Liljegren are also under 22. Robertson is there as well. After that, it's rough. I don't think they should be as high as they are.

That’s gotta be it I wasn’t sure if he was counting Matthews being 22 or under 22 guys meaning 21 20 etc. Matthews going to be 23 in like a week too so that’s kind of silly to have them so high based off of him alone
 
agreed. Hughes and Ty Smith stick out as obvious ones but who else? I guess Nico Hischier would count under this new format so there’s that.
Yeah, they'll be buoyed by guys around 22 y/o like Hischier, Boqvist, Bratt, Joey Anderson, Kuokkanen, and McLeod. Once you look at their prospect pool, they easily sink out of the top-10.

So under this new 22 and under format if that’s how he has it. We’d have chytil Fox Lindgren Kakko Howden Hajek Eligible among the top prospects Kravtsov Miller Lundkvist (who’s going to shoot up on his list) Robertson Barron Jones Henriksson

Shesterkin would no longer be eligible

he still has mittelstadt high for Buffalo so maybe he still has Andersson in his rankings although he’s never been high on him

NJ has some later round guys that are probably helping their ranking with Pronman. Guys like Gritsyuk, Talvitie, and Moynihan are all legit prospects that are taking strides

Almost every team has prospects like this. Ditto to the likes of Nolan Foote, Joey Anderson and Kevin Bahl.

Their farm stand outs for right now are Ty Smith and Jesper Boqvist. A month from now we'll be looking at their list differently, but as of this moment I have a tough time putting them in the top 10 for 22 and unders and their farm is in the bottom half of the league, maybe even bottom 10.
 
I know Ranger fans are supposed to hate the Devils but it’s okay to say they have a good prospect pool lol

The full qualifications are anyone 22 or under and anyone 26 or under who hasn't played more than 25 games in a season or 50 games in a career (10/25 for goalies).

So, Matthews made it by two days, while Shesterkin missed by two games.
