New York Rangers: Mid-Season European Prospect Report Cards

The New York Rangers have a talent pool that spans much of the northern hemisphere. As players age and progress, and new players enter the fold, many who don’t play in North America get lost.

If I’m being completely honest, the New York Rangers don’t have the deepest group of prospects. There are a few standout individuals, but not enough to fill out the NHL roster of the future alone. The most well documented prospects tend to be those that play in North America.

As such, this will just be taking a look at the group of European prospects the Rangers have playing across Europe. Right now, the Rangers have eleven prospects playing in Europe. They play in leagues ranging from the second tier of Swedish hockey to the Czech hockey league to the KHL, the top-level of Russian hockey.

While the majority of these players may never see the NHL ice, it is good to keep them in mind, as they could become mainstays on Broadway. Since there are so many players to parse through, I found it easier to split them into groups based on their grades.
