Who’s the Rangers’ top prospect?
Ranking the top prospects in the New York Rangers’ system is a difficult task. New York does not boast a strong system due to many years of trading top picks for win-now players. Now, the team is suffering for their years of going for it. That being said, New York did make an effort to increase their prospect pool this summer, drafting twice in the first round.
10 of Blue Line Station’s writers got together and ranked the top 10 prospects in New York’s system. We averaged out the 10 rankings to come to a top 10 as a group. Admittedly, there are some surprises here. There are some players one would expect to see who did not make the cut, and some players ranked higher than expected.
That being said, that there was as much diversity in the order of the rankings speaks to the fact that the Rangers have enough prospects to be excited about.
Without further adieu, the top 10.
