Prospect Info: Rangers Prospects Thread (Stats in Post #1; Updated 5.29.18)

[Drew4u]

This should be the best center depth the Rangers have had in years with, Zibanejad, and then Chytil, Anderson, and Howden competing for spots. Really like what Gordan is doing building depth down the middle and the defense.

Id rather have a true #1C than a bunch of 2nd liners/ middle sixers.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Loving this center depth we got coming

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Eh, I'm not terribly impressed by that move from Howden. That's just him taking advantage of laughably bad CHL defending. That's not going to fly at the NHL level.

Unless he plays against the Rangers

You know people always say that, and yet we see highlight reel goals each week where the defenders are made to look amateurish. Even at the NHL level a guy can make a bad decision, get caught flat-footed and look like an idiot like on the Howden play. It happens even at the highest level from time to time.

 

[duhmetreE]

I feel like the writing is on the wall... Hayes will be traded.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Maybe eventually, but I'm pretty comfortable in saying that Hayes isn't going anywhere until someone steps up and makes him expendable.

I remember Nigel Dawes once making Chris Pronger look silly. This idea that NHLers can never pull off sick moves on an NHL defense is false.

Kreider made Letang look like a pylon several games ago... it happens. There are a lot of mediocre D-men in this league to take advantage of

Kreider’s speed and strength suppose to make defenseman look silly.

Maybe in a year or two. Going into next year he's the only matchup center we have.

I'd rather have 2 1Cs... we didn't skip chances to get those players, they're very hard to get and management is doing whats possible. Chytil could maybe be a 1C but that's far from proven.

Do you have Dyslexia by chance?

 

[GregSirico]

So like, why haven't we called up Andersson or Chytil? Is that not a thing anymore?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

They want to call them up together (who knows why)

Should happen this week. Although they only have 7 games left so not sure why they haven’t done it yet

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I assume they will be recalled after their game tonight at 5PM.

Though I'm not sure they will play tomorrow...that would be 3 games in 3 nights for them.

WELL they aren't dressed so ...

 

[Alluckks]

Chytil and Andersson both with career ending injuries. So sad. Why did they have to forget their parachutes. Ugh

 

[The Crypto Guy]

WELL they aren't dressed so ...

Ah, well that answers that. Guess we will see them in the lineup tomorrow

Have you seen Rangers, Islanders, Sabres, Senators etc defend? Defending like this happens daily in the NHL

You take them however you can get them - high skill, or a taking advantage of a mistake.

It's important that we have high standards for these kids, but we shouldn't create no-win scenarios either. Not every goal is going to be them showing amazing mastery of the sport while overcoming seemingly impossible odds to score.

Damn, I was really looking forward to an entire series of Brett Howden lifetime movies.
