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

[Phoicon]

Great points.

I want to add one thing too, a players points/season, points per games etc — are mostly unit/team influenced stats.

I am not sure if +\- 50% is enough to adjust for environment when it comes to points scored. Why the — heck — are people bring up like decimals on PPGs when they are comparing prospects?

It’s says — nothing — if a kid scored 35 pts in 50 games or 20 pts in 50 games in a league in Europe. Nothing. Sure, the info that one kid scored 10 pts and another 40 pts in the SHL starts to have some kind of value. But to be honest, not that much.

True, but I am guilty of this as well. Perhaps it has to do with stats being readily available online for most leagues but video content just coming around in the past year or two.

We all are, but I was mostly referring to like someone looking at one player with 0.48 PPG and another with 0.52 PPG and then drawing the conclusion that the later had like a better draft year.

If you guys want to hear a master class in a player giving nothing answers, they interviewed Gettinger on the latest episode of the Hockey News podcast. I wouldn’t say you need to listen to it, because you can probably just fill in the answers to every question yourself, but just a heads up to anyone interested

And he doesn't play the important games. f*** that coach.

Did Shesty beat out Sorokin and Samsonov for the backup spot, or did the KHL playoffs exclude them from contention?

Sorokin is on the roster. I also count six other CSKA players. No one from Ak Bars, because of course.

 

[Edge]

Shestyorkin has probably been the player I want under the Rangers control for a while now.

I'd just prefer him in an environment that is focused on developing him for the long haul.

 

[Fvital92]

Is it certain that he will come over next season (2018-2019)?

It is certain that he won't, because his current contract runs until 2019

Sorry, meant 2019-2020.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Sorry, meant 2019-2020.

Can't be certain until he's here, unfortunately.

The longer it goes without us hearing he's signed an extension, however, the better.

The other guy, Koskinen I think, signing with Edmonton got me worried. At least Georgiev showed some promise this season.

Why, it means he will actually get to play as the starter next season there.

Because it also means that SKA will try harder to resign him now, offering more money,etc.

At least the Rangers ace in the hole is that his favorite player is Lundqvist and if he wants to play with him, he’ll have to come over as soon as he can

 

[nyr2k2]

Eh, he has said he wants to play in the NHL and his favorite player is Henke. If he's for real, he'll come over. If he's not that sincere in his desire, maybe he'll stay. I don't think any other transactions will have any real impact on it. Either he wants to come or he doesn't.

 

[nyr2k2]

Soo lost and now trails 3-2. Gettinger had a goal. Game Six is in Hamilton.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

How often does he throw those huge hits?

Did you watch the WJC? He was a f*****g wreckingball. Had a very impressive tournament imo. He could be our next Girardi, but with Higher IQ and better skating.

I haven't seen him play but those are lofty comparisons, we tend to forget but Girardi was an All star after all... I hope you are right!

Girardi threw those hits rarely. If Lindgren can throw those in NHL on regular basis then he is my new favorite player.

I'd think he jumps right into the NHL after a few starts in the AHL. A 50-32 split of him and Hank can turn the tides.

Gut feeling is that he gets suspended early. He's thrown some predatory hits in college. Would love to see him do it again.
