The New York Rangers haven’t drafted many players out of the Canadian Juniors ranks recently. In the last three drafts, five were CHL products with 20 in the NCAA or Europe. In the preceding three years the number had been evenly split, ten from the CHL and ten from the NCAA and Europe.
Of the ten CHL products selected from 2014-2016, only Tim Gettinger has seen NHL action and two others are still prospects. Six of the ten European or NCAA players are still viable prospects.
It’s an example of how the talent pool has changed. It was too long ago when a vast majority of prospects drafted came from Canadian junior hockey team.
