---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Igor Shesterkin | G | 28 | 2 of 2 | 92
1A
| Shesterkin benefited from being pushed by back up goalie Jonathan Quick this season - especially allowing him to ramp up his game, overall, as the year rolled along. Top tier NHL starter. Not huge in the net but plenty athletic. Athletic. Tracks very well. Moves laterally quickly. Provides the Rangers the kind of goaltending that could contribute to a deep playoff run. Season stats - 2.58 GAA - .912 save percentage Last ten game segment to end regular season - 7W - 3L - .911% / 2.56 GAA | Apr. 15, 2024 | Apr. 20, 2024 | |
Jaroslav Chmelar | RW | 20 | 1 of 1 | B+
RL
| A young college prospect who has signed with the NYR. The Rangers drafted Chmelar in the 4th round (144th) in 2021 Big body. Long reach. Has the ability to 'pick pocket' opponents and create turnovers with his length. Occasionally pounces on lose pucks around the crease. When time and space allows he has a quick release - especially from between the hash marks in the offensive zone. On the PP his stature creates issues for opponents when he gets in the 'eyes' of goaltenders setting screens. Average plus skater. Room for much more explosiveness out of the gate. Needs time to define himself overall. Leans 13F / Recall forward to start - with potential to provide some depth scoring. | Mar. 16, 2024 | Mar. 23, 2024 | |
Artemi Panarin | LW | 32 | 2 of 2 | 87
L1
| Elite offensive talent who is best described as equal parts goal scorer / play maker Hard to check - slippery coming off the wall and making plays in small areas - Defensive detail ranges - but has improved in the second half of the season Through 66GP - 36G - 52A - 88pts (+9) Last ten game segment - 4G - 9A - 13pts - (+5) Averaging 19:30 TOI - All of his ice at ES and PP#1 Difference maker offensively | Mar. 14, 2024 | Mar. 16, 2024 | |
Alexander Wennberg | C | 29 | 2 of 2 | 86
L3
| Wennberg is a player who is making too much money for his output offensively ($4.5M) - but he does play a variety of roles for Seattle. Good size. Plays with pace. Most of his offense comes from the perimeter. Not over powering physically. Willing to get in shooting lanes and block shots. Through 55GP, Wennberg averaged 18:40 TOI and was being deployed in all situations. He chips in with secondary offense (8G-14A). Pending UFA with a ten team no trade clause in his contract. Middle six forward / leaning third line. | Feb. 19, 2024 | Feb. 23, 2024 | |
Jack Roslovic | C | 26 | 2 of 2 | 78
L3
| It's been a tough year for Roslovic. He started the season relatively well - scoring 2G-6A in his first 14GP - but he's now suffered through a prolonged slump that has resulted in 0G - 4A in 21GP from November 11th - January 30th. His game has been perplexing. When he's 'on' he has the hockey sense, pace, and skill to be deployed in a variety of situations. Leans distributor more than shooter but has some net drive in his game via zone entries / when he gains the edge in transition. His TOI in CBJ has been on the decline - averaging between 11:00 - 15:00 per game - mostly at even strength - some secondary power-play - and no role on the penalty kill. Pending UFA. Contract carries an AAV of $4M. Bottom six forward who, when at his best, can slide in to a middle six role. Ability to play both center and the wing is a plus. | Jan. 28, 2024 | Feb. 6, 2024 | |
Alexander Wennberg | C | 29 | 1 of 2 | 86
L3
| Wennberg is proving to be a valuable player for the Kraken. He averages over 18:00 TOI - deployed in all situations. Plays fast. A motion player who is mostly creative from the perimeter, but does find pucks around the crease and below the goal line on occasion. Trusted defensively. Wins over 50% of his draws. Blocks shots. Uses his quickness and long reach as advantage keeping opponents to the outside. Third line skill set overall - but playing second line minutes - Secondary layer of offense. | Nov. 28, 2023 | Dec. 3, 2023 | |
Mika Zibanejad | C | 30 | 1 of 1 | 91

Provides better than secondary offense overall. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Filip Chytil | C | 24 | 2 of 2 | 83
L2
| Injured ten games into the 23/24 season - had a breakout year in 22/23 Big. Strong. High end compete. Never goes away. Bulk of his ice time comes at ES and PP Equally comfortable working the wall on the PP or as the middle bumper. Skating has evolved to the point he's a threat off the rush and backs opponents off their blue line. Trending 2F. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Erik Gustafsson | LD | 31 | 2 of 2 | 85
P2
| Since signing with NYR as a free agent he has rediscovered his game. Traditionally an average defender. Playing with more detail and determination. PP QB. Distributor more than a shooter. A transitional 'D' who can lead the rush or join as an extra layer. Being used in all situations with the Rangers - ES - PP - depth PK. Providing excellent value. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Ryan Lindgren | LD | 25 | 1 of 1 | 81

Will Cuylle | LW | 21 | 1 of 1 | 82
L3
| Young power forward who is trending up overall. Has a chance to, in time, land in an NHL top six role. Powerful skater in open ice. Transports the puck well between the blue lines for a young player with his stature. Gives opponents all they can handle in the hard areas - along the wall and net front. Tracks the entire 200ft. Defensive detail is evolving. Being used at ES and PP#2. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Jimmy Vesey | LW | 30 | 1 of 1 | 78
L4
| Depth forward who has evolved in his time at the NHL level. Good size. Quick to space. Battles for position out front opponents net. Produces depth offense in streaks. Responsible defensively. Has a role at ES and PK. Brings energy and detail. Valuable depth player for NYR. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Kaapo Kakko | RW | 22 | 1 of 1 | 72
L3
| After a productive season in 22/23 it's been inconsistent in 23/24 Deployed at ES and PP#2 Minutes are down year over year. Averages around 14:00 per game. Power frame. Lagging a shade behind off the rush with his pace. Leans shooter more than play maker / distributor. Not overpoweing in the trenches. Sill developing prospect who will go through ups and downs. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Adam Fox | RD | 25 | 2 of 2 | 90
P1
| Elite thinker. Spatial awareness - read/react - seeing plays developing before opponents get set to defend - outsmarting forwards around his net Calculating. Doesn't play the game with high end pace but makes plays in all three zones Exceptional on the power-play. Leans distributor more than shooter but can also beat NHL goalies from distance. Complete player. Used in all situations. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Barclay Goodrow | RW | 30 | 1 of 1 | 75
L4
| Bottom six NHL power forward. Capable as a 3F or 4F. Deployed at ES and PK. Big, rangy, long reach. Not a play driver offensively. Goes to the net to set screens and box out defenders. Extends zone time along the wall. Leans on opponents. Not punishing. In the way. Competes. Recognizes his limitations. Does his job defensively. Offense is a bonus. Generally hard to play against. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Chris Kreider | LW | 32 | 1 of 1 | 89
L1
| Veteran forward who plays an important role for the NYR Used in all situations Scores big goals - especially on the PP - Has a gear off the rush / in open ice Reads the ice very well. A threat to score on the PK as well. Big body. Not physical. Uses his frame as an obstacle defensively and to shield checkers offensively. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Blake Wheeler | RW | 37 | 1 of 1 | 74
L3
| Veteran forward who is now a bottom six forward at the NHL level. Averages around 12:00 TOI. Deployed at ES and PP #2 Big body but not punishing physically. Long reach is an asset. Remains a threat to fire pucks on net with authority when time and space opens up. Defensive commitment / detail ranges. Provides depth layer of offense. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Vincent Trocheck | C | 30 | 2 of 2 | 86
L2
| Trocheck empties the tank every game. There are some nights his detail ranges but there is no doubting his compete. Averages nearly 20:00 TOI. Deployed in all situations. Play driver off the rush. First choice is to, generally, get pucks to the net on his own - resulting in some 'shot pass assists' Defensively committed. Battles. Excellent in the face-off circle. Takes key draws in all three zones. Solid second line center. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Alexis Lafrenière | LW | 22 | 1 of 1 | 80
L2
| Former first overall pick (2020) Evolving. Starting to look more comfortable at the NHL level playing to his offensive element. Leans shooter / finisher more than play maker. More aggressive directing pucks on net. More involved in the high danger areas. Averages around 16:30 TOI. Deployed at ES and PP. Does not PK. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Artemi Panarin | LW | 32 | 1 of 2 | 87
L1
| Pure offense. One of the most impactful, scoring wingers in the entire NHL. Scores, equally, at ES and on the PP. Averages over 19:00 TOI. All of his ice time comes at ES and PP. Plays a light game. Doesn't engage physically or block shots defensively. Average in his zone. Offensive element wins out. Difference maker. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Jacob Trouba | RD | 29 | 1 of 1 | 84
P1
| A top pairing '2-way D' who plays with an edge. There are times he crosses the line physically, but there is no doubt he has a presence. Matches up against top six forwards. Solid skater. Moves pucks. Provides secondary offense. Averages nearly 23:00 TOI All of his minutes are hard minutes at ES and PK Limited role on the PP. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |

Jonathan Quick | G | 37 | 1 of 1 | 83
2A
| Twilight of his career but appears very comfortable in a NYR uniform and the system in front of him. Butterfly/Athletic. Has always played low to the ice in his stance. Relies on lateral quickness. His read/react game is key to his success. Veteran leader who is can run with the net for spurts that make him appear more like a #1 than a #2A. | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |
Igor Shesterkin | G | 27 | 1 of 2 | 92
1A
| One of the top goalies in the entire NHL Butterfly style. Athletic. Great feet. Excellent lateral push. Tracks the play. Fronts the puck moving side to side. Plays between his posts. Elite #1A | Nov. 25, 2023 | Nov. 26, 2023 | |

Adam Fox | RD | 25 | 1 of 2 | 89
P1
| Fox is skating in his fifth NHL season. It generally takes defenceman longer to adjust to the pace and detail of the NHL game. Incredibly, Fox has never had a minus season (on the goals for/goal against scale) He's a combined (+90) so far in his young career. He's already a perennial All-Star. He also owns a Norris Trophy (NHL's Top 'D') from the year 20/21. Fox logs an average of 22:22 TOI. There isn't a match-up the Rangers are concerned about when tapping him to role over the boards. He's used in all situations. He has elite vision distributing the puck and quarterbacking the PP. He doesn't have the hardest shot in the league, but he knows how to place the puck and score. Fox isn't a burner. Watch him closely. He's not the fastest skater in the NHL. What he has in spades is elite hockey IQ. He's one of the smartest players in the entire NHL. He's calculating. A surgeon. | Oct. 21, 2023 | Oct. 28, 2023 | |
Chad Ruhwedel | RD | 33 | 1 of 1 | 68
P3
| Bottom pairing 'D' who averaged 14:34 TOI, and played 47 games for Pittsburgh in (22/23) Stocky frame. Average plus skater. Has to time his gaps appropriately and front his opponents, on time, to kill plays. Lacks length and reach. Plays with some bump. Credited with 90 hits last season, despite relatively low number of games and ice time. When his number is called he is deployed at ES and second unit PK. Low risk with the puck on his stick. Projects as a 6D / 7D for the Penguins in (23/24 | Oct. 10, 2023 | Oct. 11, 2023 | |
Gabe Perreault | RW | 18 | 3 of 3 | A-
L2
| New York Rangers first round pick in 2023. Elite offensive talent. Creative. Fantastic vision. Hard to contain in small areas. Slippery coming off the wall and finding space between the hash marks in high danger areas. Skating has been an area of concern but he is trending in a positive direction. His stride is sound. More strength will lead to added separation in open ice and more of a threat off the rush / between the blue lines going of offense. Top 6 NHL forward prospect who could end up as a #1F who logs significant ice time at even strength and the power-play. Defensive detail has ranges at times. | Jul. 31, 2023 | Sep. 8, 2023 | |
Gabe Perreault | RW | 17 | 2 of 3 | B+
L1
| Used in all situations at U18 Worlds at the end of the 22/23 season Averaged 17 minutes TOI - Scored 5G-13A in 7GP Fantastic puck touch / deception in tight quarters Creative Easy to identify his upside as an NHL prospect Top two / leaning top line NHL forward who will have massive impact on the PP Skating has room to improve - mechanics are not poor however - Three zone detail ranges - offensive zone exits can have more energy at times | Apr. 30, 2023 | - | |
Drew Fortescue | LD | 18 | 1 of 1 | B+
P3
| 2-way 'D' who ended the season, in 22/23, with some of his best play at the U18 Worlds Consistent compete Good pace - some bump to his game as well Skated more pucks from his zone - eluded pressure - gained red line and got pucks deep Defensively he was sound - good jump to space and engaged / blocked shots Leans 2-way / Defensive 'D' on projection Used at ES and PK | Apr. 30, 2023 | - | |
Brennan Othmann | LW | 19 | 1 of 1 | C+
M6
| Othmann brings a combination of offense and energy Off the rush, when he gets the edge, he almost always drives to the net. He always seems to be hunting pucks around the crease / looking to clean up rebounds and battle to extend plays His compete borders on an energy / rat style at times. He definitely a distraction for opponents. More of a shooter/finisher than distributor. Best deployed at ES and PP. Middle six NHL upside is more likely than top six but he has the ability to move up in the lineup. | Dec. 31, 2022 | Jan. 3, 2023 | |
Kalle Väisänen | LW | 19 | 1 of 1 | C+
RL
| Arguably Team Finland's MVP in game #1 vs Swiss Scored both goals for the Finns. His second goal was a direct result of Kalle using his size and reach as an advantage. He won a puck down low in the zone, tracked up towards the hash marks - then darted to the middle of the ice - scoring from range on his strong side Stood out today. Played with pace. Was one of the most competitive Finns. | Dec. 26, 2022 | - | |
Gabe Perreault | RW | 17 | 1 of 3 | B+
T6
| Gifted thinker offensively Leans playmaker more than shooter but he is scoring goals at a higher rate than the past. Underrated release. Plus vision. Sees the ice very well. Can make plays through bodies in traffic. Generally tracks back and defends as a second layer Has the mind and skill set to be used in a variety of roles. | Oct. 28, 2022 | Nov. 7, 2022 | |
Erik Gustafsson | LD | 30 | 1 of 2 | 55
P3
| 2-way / Transitional 'D' who brings an offensive element Sees the ice in the offensive zone and can be used on the PP. Takes some risks at times that can result in positive results ... but ... also exposes pucks and can lead to turnovers An average / below NHL average defender overall Used primarily at ES with some clean up duty on the PP and very occasionally the PK. | Oct. 13, 2022 | Oct. 14, 2022 | |
Vincent Trocheck | C | 28 | 1 of 2 | 71
T6
| Averaged just shy of 18:00 TOI in 21/22 and was used in all situations. 6 of his 21 goals came on the PP. More of a shooter than playmaker off the rush. A capable penalty killer who works to get in lanes and take away options. Competes. Cares. Coming off a healthy season. Mid-range top 6 forward offensively. Not a burner in open ice but certainly not slow. | Mar. 1, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 | |
Filip Chytil | C | 22 | 1 of 2 | 50
M6
| AVG TOI (12:42) His ice time ranges depending on the special teams game. Mostly used at ES and occasionally one of the PP units in NY. Middle bumper on the PP. Long reach extends plays. Distributes. Pucks to the net quickly in traffic. A big body who skates well. Long stride in open ice. Competes. Willing to take pucks to the net off the rush. Below the goal line he can extend plays. Three zone detail is relatively sound. He's not a perfect player but he's young and has a foundation of size, skill, and compete that should only improve. | Mar. 2, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 | |
Mac Hollowell | RD | 23 | 1 of 1 | 55
RL
| An undersize 2-way / Transitional 'D' prospect An area defender who does not bring a physical element Puck play is generally sound. He has the vision and skill to make 'pocket' plays in tight areas Can manage the power play as a distributor more than a shooter The jury is still out on if he can handle match ups at the NHL level in the future ... with a significant concern being games on the road when opponents have last change | Jan. 19, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 | |
Adam Sýkora | C | 17 | 1 of 1 | C+
M6
| An energetic / high end compete forward who plays with an infectious style. When he doesn't have the puck he wants it back and has secondary battle. Off the rush he's goes to the net without the puck and has the instincts to find open space for tips and rebounds. Adam can be a threat off the rush as well. He's a reliable 3 zone player who is very young for the 2004 draft class. Added strength and weight required. A player who brings both energy and offense and projects to be a middle of the lineup NHL prospect. | Apr. 4, 2022 | Jul. 3, 2022 | |
Bryce McConnell-Barker | C | 17 | 1 of 1 | C+
M6
| His season had some ups and downs. His club team (SSM) were deep at the center ice position resulting in less quality ice. When the team suffered some injuries his role was elevated and his game started to gain traction. He has good size, moves well, shows willingness to go to the hard areas with and without the puck and can be used in all situations if required. There are times in games he has to be found instead of standing out. His offensive skill isn't elite to the point he projects to be a top 6 NHL forward. | Feb. 2, 2022 | Jul. 3, 2022 | |
Maxim Barbashev | RW | 18 | 1 of 1 | D+
RL
| A frustrating player to watch. He has much more to give than he does. Rarely is he first on pucks in the offensive zone. He isn't a player who engages enough to do the heavy lifting for line mates. HIs body language slouches when things aren't going his way. Barbashev has skill, good size and skates slightly above average. None of his skill attributes are being maximized due to his lack of compete and detail. A player who needs to play in the top 6 of the lineup. | Feb. 2, 2022 | Jul. 3, 2022 | |
Brett Berard | LW | 19 | 1 of 1 | C+
RL
| Undersize forward with good pace and capable offensive upside In and out energy without the puck Leans offense Thrives from the perimeter on the PP Does his best work when time and space is given A young college player who is trending in a positive direction in relation to his element | Oct. 24, 2021 | Jan. 1, 2022 |
