Draft Round 1 #23: New York Rangers Select RW Gabriel Perreault (Boston College, NCAA)

[The Crypto Guy]

Wooowwee, look at this amazing assist on Monday. Dekes through the guy, and the stick on the ice, while taking a high stick, then completely fools the goalie by passing it back with the eyes in the back of his head..

Gabe should absolutely, 100%, be UNTOUCHABLE. Kid is going to be a superstar and really our only projected 1st line player in our system.

We already got a big piece with the Miller trade. Trade lower prospects for a top 4 dman. Get rid of Kreider/Smith/Lindrgren to obtain picks or younger players.

Gabe, Othmann, Fortescue, Laf, Berard, Sykora, Schneider, Fox, Cuylle should all be part of the next core going for a cup in 3-5 years. JT Miller will still be here to lead with Trocheck, and obviously Igor.

This…. In no way am I trading GP after the miracle of him falling to us and Drury picking him.
Agree with the above written. Add Edstrom and hopefully Chmelar.
Edstrom has already proven to be a NhL regular with promise. I believe Chmelar has the size/speed/talent combo to be another solid bottom 6 FWD.
Maybe guys like BMB or Laba can possibly break thru as well…

NYR has a solid make up of mid and low 20’s on the team and farm for the 1st time in a while…
While obviously everyone can’t pan out and play, if 50-60% of that group become nhl regulars the rangers are in good shape….
Cuylle and Laffy should be top 6 wings on the rangers for years to come as well imo….
Shoring up the D and adding solid vets with leadership/talent will be key as well….
There is def a shift coming
