Top Shelf Prospects: Rangers Top 10 Prospects and Sleeper

[LastWordArmy]

Our annual look at the top ten prospects for each team continues. Here is a sample and the link to the article.

Top 2021 New York Rangers Prospect: Braden Schneider


Schneider started last season at the World Juniors. He scored a goal and three points in six games, helping Canada to a silver medal. He then played two games for the Hartford Wolf Pack, picking up an assist. Schneider scored five goals and 27 points in 22 games with the Brandon Wheat Kings in the OHL. He also won a gold medal playing for Canada at the Men’s World Championship. Schneider had one assist in nine games.


Skating


Schneider is an excellent skater which helps him to play a strong 200-foot game. He has a smooth stride and generates good speed and acceleration in both directions. He also has very good agility and edgework. This allows Schneider to cover a lot of ice. He also has very good pivots that allow Schneider to transition quickly from offence to defence and vice-versa. Schneider is strong on his skates and has a well-developed lower-body. This allows him to win battles along the boards and to effectively clear the front of the net. Schneider has good size but can get even stronger. This will help him to be even more effective in these areas.

He's 5th in their ranking. It's just a short write-up and they've linked to a previous article they've written on Othmann.

He's ranked #5

There have been no significant games since he was drafted, so we linked to his pre-draft scouting report inside the article instead of just repeating the scouting report from our draft preview.

Othmann is a tough one to rank because of his rather unique path the last 12 months.

Fair.

Thats true of a lot of prospects in the 2021 Draft. Will be interesting to see where they are a year or two from now.

There is no 6th prospect?

Never mind. Just a blurb on Othmann, next paragraph was on no. 6

Schneider above Lundkvist will trigger some people here.

but I'd agree with the Rankings... It's why it's inevitable 1 or 2 of the top defenders are moved.

If you click the link in the blurb on Othmann, you get the full report (which is a similar format to the other prospects).

It was close on those two. I had a hard time deciding. Let me watch three more full games of each player and I might change my mind again. I could easily have called it 1a and 1b

That's still a really good top 10 prospect list that some teams would die for and it doesn't include Fox, Miller, Laf, Kakko, and Shesty.
