Long live the King Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 December 26, 2018 - January 5, 2019 https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2019/wm20 Potential Rangers Participating: Nico Gross - SUI (2018 4th Round Pick) = 2018-19 Stats: 3-9-12 in 27 games with the Oshawa Generals (OHL) Nils Lundkvist - SWE (2018 1st Round Pick) = 2018-19 Stats: 1-5-6 in 22 games with Lulea HF (SHL) Jakob Ragnarsson - SWE (2018 3rd Round Pick) = 2018-19 Stats: 0-2-2 in 16 games with Almtuna IS (Allsvenskan) Vitali Kravtsov - RUS (2018 1st Round Pick) = 2018-19 Stats: 6-11-17 in 32 games with Traktor Chelyabinsk (KHL) K'Andre Miller - USA (2018 1st Round Pick) = 2018-19 Stats: 3-12-15 in 16 games with the Wisconsin Badgers (NCAA) Joey Keane - USA (2018 3rd Round Pick) = 2018-19 Stats: 3-15-18 in 25 games with the Barrie Colts (OHL) Other Notable Rangers: Filip Chytil - CZE (2017 1st Round Pick) = Eligible to play, but about zero chance the Rangers send him. Olof Lindbom - SWE (2018 2nd Round Pick) = Has only appeared in 2 games with Djurg?rdens IF J20 (SuperElit) I think he's hurt, but can't confirm. Lauri Pajuniemi - FIN (2018 5th Round Pick) = Has appeared in 15 games with TPS (Liiga) and played in some junior tournaments this past summer, but is not on Finland's preliminary roster. Can't confirm, but I think he is hurt too. Calle Sjalin - SWE (2017 5th Round Pick) = Looks like another injury. Hasn't played a game this year with Leksands IF (Allsvenskan). Not sure he'd make the team if healthy, but he is eligible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Aside from Chytil, only two of these players excite me. What is Lundkvist's deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long live the King Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Aside from Chytil, only two of these players excite me. What is Lundkvist's deal? What's his deal? He's 18 years old and playing on the top team in the Swedish Hockey League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Lead Dmen under 20 in points. League wide, he?s 30-something in points among dmen. He?s coming along. Erik Karlsson put up 10 points in 45 games the year after being drafted ged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodrigueGabriel Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Pretty happy to see Keane picked for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The fact Lundkvist plays every night for Lulea at 18 is testament to his quality. He'll be a solid NHL player. Probably lacks the offense to get people excited, but he's got the tools to be a valuable asset in a few years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The fact Lundkvist plays every night for Lulea at 18 is testament to his quality. He'll be a solid NHL player. Probably lacks the offense to get people excited, but he's got the tools to be a valuable asset in a few years time. So far all 3 of this years 1sts looks to be good picks and all developing well, good to see. Your describtion of him (combined with him being a right handed swedish D) its hard to not compare him with Str?lman. Is that a good comparison you think? Or could he be even better than that? Does sound like the "perfect" partner for K'andre Miller tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I don't think Keane makes it. There's something more than meets the eye with that guy. I don't think he's very popular in Barrie either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Based on? An Owen Sound season ticket holder I smoke weed with a couple Friday nights a year. And Vodka saying he was a healthy scratch And him being passed over in his initial draft year. In short, based in nothing but I still think I'm right.

Dunny Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Dunny, what's the inside Canadian scoop with Lavoie getting the call over Dach? I don't need to be an insider to know that Hockey Canada would have at least two Quebecois on their roster even if it meant they were Bantam House League players. There's a rarely a Hockey Canada roster I agree with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a Standard Oile Exec thinking they're smarter than everybody at the turn of the 20th century. These are the people running the Edmonton Oilers for fuck sakes.
