The New York Rangers have the 24th-best prospect pool according to The Athletic’s prospect pipeline rankings.
Corey Pronman of The Athletic listed Malcolm Spence, Brennan Othmann, E.J. Emery, Gabe Perreault, Carey Terrance, Noah Laba, and Scott Morrow as the Rangers’ top prospects.
In last year’s prospect pipeline list, the Rangers ranked as the 15th best team, as the Blueshirts saw a slight drop off.
The only teams ranked behind the Rangers in this list are the Winnipeg Jets, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers, Vegas Golden Knights, Edmonton Oilers, and Colorado Avalanche.
The Rangers’ opening-night roster may consist of a number of young players, including Othmann, Perreault, Morrow, and Brett Berard.
