The New York Rangers have a lot of really good young prospects. Let’s separate them into tiers to get a better understanding of their depth.
It’s incredible how much better the New York Rangers’ prospect pool has become over the last 15 months.
Of course the team has had five first round picks in that time span, but they’ve acquired a diverse array of promising young players over that time, too. They’ve even hit on some of their later picks, at least it appears that way as of now.
By now you’ve probably seen a ton of different prospect rankings. Blueshirt Banter did a very good, in depth rankings of the farm system and so did Corey Pronman of The Athletic. We’ve even done our share of prospect rankings, including these position-by-position rankings. Today, we’re gonna put these prospects into tiers.
Now, anytime you’re dealing with prospect rankings you must know that it is an inexact science and not everything ends up the way it may appear. With that said, I am confident that these tiers do the prospect pool justice.
It is worth noting that any player who has played in 10 games or more with the Rangers were left off this list. That includes Neal Pionk, Tony DeAngelo, John Gilmour and Boo Nieves.
Now let’s dive right in!
