Under the guidance of the Jeff Gorton regime, the Rangers invested heavily in recent drafts on the blue line. However, when Scott Wheeler at The Athletic discussed the organizational depth, it was a forward who jumped to the top of the breakdown.
The Rangers were ranked second overall by Wheeler last year, but dropped all the way to 18 this year.
Here’s how Wheeler’s new top ten prospects ranked for the Rangers:
- Brennan Othmann, LW
- Zac Jones, LHD
- Braden Schneider, RHD
- Vitali Kravtsov, W
- Brett Berard, LW
- Dylan Garand, G
- Ryder Korczak, C
- Matthew Robertson, LHD
- William Cuylle, LW
- Lauri Pajuniemi, RW
Wheeler loves what Othmann is doing this season.
