[RGY]

Ummm.....Poll?

[Beacon]

Add Shane McColgan. Hopefully he'll be a poor man's Callahan in the future.

Voted for St. Croix due to his potential to be a top-6 player.

[Alien Valuating]

MSC, add Andersson

[RGY]

Boo Nieves, Add Bourque.

[BrooklynRangersFan]

Hrivik. Add Andersson.

[The Dark Passenger]

St. Croix. Add Andersson.

[Giglio NYR15]

Add bourque...could be solid bottom 6 potential this season. Smaller dubi.

[HatTrick Swayze]

Hrivik add Andersson

[Jonathan.]

Yogan. Add Sam Noreau.

Noreau has huge sleeper potential. I think he has some really nice upside for us.

Yogan is far, far, far safer than MSC and has nice upside. I think he can be a 30-40 point 3rd liner for us if he fully pans out. I see him as a NHLer over MSC, to be honest.

No. A mush-head who was bad in the AHL does not have any real bottom 6 potential for us this season unless half our team is all injured at once.

[Grind Jam Grind]

Voted for Boo. Add McColgan.

[Jonathan.]

This is why Noreau is an awesome prospect:

Standing up for his teammate with a big win. Plus, he has really nice talent that has developed quite a bit this past season.

[Jonathan.]

Also, this fight is awesome: http://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/101572.

So is this one: http://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/108212

Actually, his whole trio with Beauregard is awesome.

I like Noreau--just not sure he's going to ever be an NHL player.

MSC. Andersson. I think Nieves and Yogan are close too.

1 rough season and everyone wants to count him out.

[we want cup]

MSC, add McColgan.

[NashtyAttack]

St. Croix (who should've went #7). Add Bourque

In no way shape or form should MSC have been above Skjei.

It's more the concussions and lack of any strength.

[NYR Viper]

Jon knows of what he speaks.

I am going Yogan add McColgan (Noreau will be next for me)

Every scouting report has said how much he's improved every single aspect of his game. I have good feelings about him.

[Jonathan.]

For what it's worth, I think that Skjei represents the last of the 2nd tier of Rangers prospects.

First tier:

1. LW Chris Kreider

Second tier: (In the voted order)

2. LW Carl Hagelin
3. C J.T. Miller
4. D Dylan McIlrath
5. RW Christian Thomas
6. RW Jesper Fast
7. D Brady Skjei

8th and on will represent the third, fourth, etc. tiers.

The little I've seen of Noreau, I've liked. To me he looked better than McI at Traverse last year.
