You’re right, for sure. But, my caveat is that development is a real wildcard. The Rangers seem to be improving at it. (Super early days, of course but at least it seems to be a priority).
We really haven’t seen a Rangers organization that can “mold” a “project” player into a useful pro. Hopefully this is the kind of raw talent the organization can grow.

Half credit for Moore. Developed into an NHLer with us, developed into a pretty good NHLer elsewhere, then came back. Brian Boyle sorta the opposite, though he hadn’t quite established himself as an NHLer when he got here. Full credit for one player combining Boyle and Moore.

True. It’s concerning that at that size he went undrafted. Even though the days of drafting by size are over, I’m surprised that not a single team chose him even in the 7th round. Maybe he had a growth spurt later on or maybe he just developed really well (relatively speaking).

I agree we shouldn’t expect much offense, but I would think highlights and tape are a bit more important than stats when evaluating NCAA prospects, especially with varying levels of talent level among conferences and teams. But yea it sucks that the only things that are readily available are basic stats and a few highlights.

Have Lemieux and DeAngelo jump him. If he can take on both of them, he has a roster spot and we can trade the other two.
yes please, we need to toughen up, but I think with a line that big they might be able to dominate especially if they all have skill.

Kind of a Thunder Dome? I belieeeeeeeve that’s against the rules.
Bloom enough to be a 4th liner that isnt useless out there, can have an impactful shift by just providing a good forecheck and banging bodies, and not being a defensive liability. That would be ideal. We need that in the worst way.
How is his skating? If he can keep up then we gor a solid cheap 4th liner. Eventually Gauthier moves up to overtake DiGi in the coming years. Then you have Lemmy and Rueschhoff out there.
Is this guy consider a prospect or a project? ECHL or AHL depth? Or does he have NHL upside? Another Dawson Leedahl??

Not a ton written about him. Seems from the little that's out there like he has a chance. He has size and uses it, and seems to have some hands. I guess the big thing is whether he can skate at an NHL level, which we don't really know yet.
