4. Prospects Pending
The talk of Rangers town is Lias Andersson. On defense, everyone is looking forward to seeing how the battle between Alexei Bereglazov, Anthony DeAngelo, Ryan Graves, and Neal Pionk plays out. However, I am most interested in seeing if any prospects make a major push when not expected to.
Perhaps it’s personal favorite Sean Day pushing down the door to win a spot on the opening night roster. Maybe it’s Boo Nieves convincing the Rangers the best course of action is to use him as the fourth line center and David Desharnais as the third line center. Alexander Georgiev could give Ondrej Pavelec a run for his money. It could be anyone who gets the opportunity to make an impression.
The preseason is the perfect time to make your name known, and every player who is given the opportunity to step onto the ice will be looking to do just that. I’m most excited to see who can make the most of the chances they get.
