Thread: Tell me about these Rangers Prospects
SammyT_51 said it well.

Shestyorkin: will be in the NHL sooner than later and #1 in NY
Chytil: very good, likely 2nd line center of future, or maybe a great 3rd line C
Kravtsov: tons of talent, demotion to AHL didnt help, hopefully is a wake up while he plays year in Russia. Top 6 skill
Hajek: solid D, likely 3rd line guy or a stay at home player for an offensive defenceman
Howden: personally, not a fan. you can tell he has offensive ability but i believe better suited for a trade, maybe packaged with a Kreider/Strome
Lias: was given a raw deal by coaches in my opinion. But still needs to earn his time. But wasnt given the chance while Howden gets 3rd line minutes. If/when there are trades at TDL, he likely is first callup for bigger minutes.....if he plays well in Hartford.

Thread: An outside look of NYR line-up - am I far off
1. Buchnevich is already slotted as the 1st line RW.
1a. this means Kakko will be on 2nd line with Chytil/Kreider
2. Chytil will be the 2C to start the year. If it goes south in a hurry would likely get moved down or to wing.
3. Lias, in my eyes, will be the 3C to start. Played well in 1st preseason game and the team needs to see if he can handle the NHL. He will be counted on for defensive assignments along with PK.
3a. Lias probably paired with Namestnikov & Strome.
4. Howden 4C w/ Lemieux and Jesper on his wings. Lemieux has a chance to potentially grab a 3rd line role but im assuming he is glued to the 4th line.
5. Kravtsov....this is most interesting battle on the team. I believe he should be paired with Lias on the 3rd line with a guy like Namestnikov or Strome on the other side. But i think he will start in Hartford and will be the first call up w/ an injury or a Strome/Namestnikov trade. Will log top minutes on 1st line and power play
6. Smith & Nieves will be the extra skaters w/ McKegg & di Giuseppe in Hartford. McKegg will be a fan favorite so i could see him cracking lineup occasionally.
My forward lines:
Panarin-Zibanejad-Buchnevich
Kreider-Chytil-Kakko
Namestnikov-Andersson-Strome
Lemieux-Howden-Fast

Defense...i have no argument with your lines, maybe Staal w/ Deangelo but all good from my view
