10. Tyler Wall, Goaltender, 19 Years Old, Sixth-Round Pick (2016) Previous Rank: 20 Earlier in these rankings, I discussed how playing at a lower level in his pre-draft year might have left 2017 6th-round pick Morgan Barron underexposed. The Rangers are currently reaping the rewards of a similar situation with

We got an opportunity to speak to New York Rangers 21st overall selection Filip Chytil this past weekend about a variety of topics. The below is our interview. Everything in block quotes is from Chytil. For full disclosure: Chytil’s first language is not English, so I cleaned up some

29. Sergey Zborovskiy, Defenseman, 20 Years Old, Third-Round Pick (2015) Previous Rank: 28 At face value, it appears that Zborovskiy improved significantly this past season. He produced 40 points in 63 WHL games after hitting only 25 the year before. In particular, he improved his assist total by 16. Big

38. Adam Chapie, Forward, 26 Years Old, Free-Agent Signing (2016) Previous Rank: 29 The Rangers signed Chapie as a free agent out of Umass-Lowell last spring, and I expressed that I was “very skeptical of his NHL future.” Last season, as a 25-year-old, he produced zero goals and four assists
