Cash or Czech Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Did not know where to put this but wtf @coreypronman NY Rangers won't sign their 2014 3rd round pick Keegan Iverson' date=' 4th round pick Ryan Mantha or 5th rounder Rich Nejezchleb.[/quote'] Not shocked about Iverson, he underwhelmed ever since he was drafted. Mantha was nothing special. Is Nejezchleb on a minor league contract? He played in the AHL and ECHL this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Nejezchleb, from what I've understood, has been hammered with injuries, so they're likely just walking away from a player who can't seem to stay healthy. He showed offensive flash in camp last year, but I guess he's just been unable to stay in the line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Falco Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 What prospects are left to be somewhat excited about in the farm system? Not named Skjei or Buch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 What prospects are left to be somewhat excited about in the farm system? Not named Skjei or Buch. Excited? Shesterkin if he comes to North America. Halverson, Gropp, maybe Kovacs. Then meh middle-6 guys like Tambellini, Jensen, Nieves and Morrison.

Puck Head Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Outside if Skjei, I'm most excited about Graves and Nieves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Wow, 2014 draft turned out to be dog shit for us. Not good given the number of picks we've had lately. Other than Skjei and Buch, I'm most excited about Duclair and Saarela. Seriously though, Huska seems like he's doing well in his first year after being drafted, but then, it's going to be years until he might be ready for NHL action.

paddynyc Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Not good when a 3rd, 4th and 5th rounders are not worth signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 It's actually not surprising. It's considered against the odds for these players to make it to the NHL. We've been incredibly lucky that our late round players have had relative success. That's usually not how it happens and we've been spoiled in recent years. Maybe now it will finally catch up to us.

Captain Clutch Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Last bad draft for the Rangers was 07, so not a bad record to have only 2 truly bad drafts since 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
