Welcome to the first of a three-part series on the New York Rangers prospect rankings. In this series, I will rank my top ten Rangers prospects while providing some context on each player’s development thus far and what their NHL timeline looks like.
My take on the current pool is that the Rangers are well-situated on the wings and have a quality goaltending prospect, but the defensive group has lost a lot of strength due to graduations, and as everyone knows they are lacking center prospects. I think when you consider where the Rangers are in their competitive cycle, this is a fine prospect group and likely slots them at around #20 league-wide.
