Prospect Info: Rangers Prospects Thread (Player Stats in Post #1; Updated 6.16.22)

I wish we had them ready right now because we need an influx of playoff type hockey performers that have some wheels and snarl .....we could use 5 for our current roster . Rangers a not bad regular season club but certainly not a playoff style club at this stage .

FWIW Edström is known as a guy who elevates his game in the playoffs.

29 points in 147 regular season SHL games and 10 in 24 playoff games.

Yeah some quintessential NA style players didn't have great success in the SHL.

Johan Franzen is one obvious one that comes to mind.

You hope Edstrom becomes a 4th liner.

1st ending now,
Othmann with assist 1-1 tying goal midway,
and then scores 2-1 go ahead goal in last minute

 

[egelband]

Any chance Garand is ready to back up Igor next season?

I really think young goalies need tons of reps. Moreso than any other position, probably. Let him play as a starter somewhere, if you ask me.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Othmann been on fire this series so far.

That stick lift shows he is a very smart player to do that. I hope he has smart on ice awareness in the pros. I hope that is one of his strengths

 

[cwede]

mid-2nd Flint allow 2 in 65 seconds, surrender 2 goal lead, tied 3-3

 

[RangerBoy]

4-3 Flint

Othmann

I love it. I've always loved Edström. I think his game is better-suited to North America than Europe. He's obviously not going to be a big points guy but he plays a really physical brand of hockey (too physical for the SHL, honestly), has good hands around the net, can PK, etc. If nothing else, he'll be a good depth player for Hartford for a couple years, if he can't crack the Rangers.

I think Edström and Rempe have that in common. Their styles, their bodies, the way they use their bodies, are just tailor-made for pro hockey in NA.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Wow, amazing release.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

After scoring 50 goals in the reg season, the star probability of Othmann went down from 5% to 4%. With 7 goals in 9 playoff games so far, I am convinced it has now dropped to 3%

The guy is an idiot. His formula is a joke.

Anyway, 3G, 4A in 2 games this series so far…

I really think the team wants Othmann in the NHL next year. That shot plays. Can he be an Oshie type player for us?

Our track record of rushing young forwards into the NHL hasn't gone well. I wonder whether we should let him marinate more.

He also has the grit and physical play that Oshie brings. I would not mind that as long as he can score big goals like Oshie has.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Edström is not a typical swedish player. He is gigantic and very physical. With decent skills. Think of a bigger more physical Fredrik Sjöström.

However, NHLers are bigger and stronger than SHLers, its a different thing playing physical in SHL than doing in NHL. But i think Edström have the natural strenght to do it. He is very strong.

I'm always an advocate of getting them big minutes in Hartford for half a season to get them acclimated and give them the call up when injuries inevitably create an opening. Although I hope Hartford gets their shit figured out. They totally folded when Brodzinski & Schneider got called up.

Not too physical for SHL; he only had 6 pim (!). The refs accept his physical style. Rögle overall is quite physical.

He also learned from earlier seasons where he was hit with heavy suspensions

I think he clearly dialed it down this season after his previous suspensions for blowing guys up. I'd wager you put him in the AHL, they will emphasize his physicality, and he'll be a PIM-per-game player. No insult on the SHL, international hockey just officiates things differently; all of Ryan Lindgren's borderline hits would have him suspended in most of Europe, IMO. And that's fine as they take head hits incredibly seriously. I just expect Edström's physical play to really open up when he comes over.
