    I think Buch is first.
    I really like Honka, he's being compared to Klingberg in some regard.... which is a shame because it IS Klingberg that he would need to top, both play the same side and that will be probably hinder his potential.
    For this reason I would say keep Vrana

    I agree that DeAngelo is the one to release. I know Dobber is really high on DeAngelo, but I don't see him ever passing McDonagh or Shatty in New York, amd Skjei doesn't help either, PLUS Graves is nipping at his heels.

    At least Honka already has a real opportunity, and I think he has a higher ceiling to boot.

    As one of the resident ranger fans I will address this issue

    first only Shat and Deangelo are right handed, so the argument that the captain or Skjei are blocking someone doesn't really ring true.

    In a perfect world those 4 players are the top 2 pairings, but from the perspective of the coach and management Deangelo has to prove himself. There are also well established players that NY can turn to. Can Deangelo make the team and succeed this season ? sure as long as he keeps his focus, maintains professionalism and avoids turnovers. Stranger things have happened right ? Look at NYs depth chart and tell me who Deangelo starts ahead of. Staal ? Holden ? both are Left handed but Holden played relatively well at points last season on the right side. The kicker is Brendan Smith who despite what Wings fans say, is a good NHL defenseman. His new contract confirms that NY agrees with me. The numbers don't look all that promising for Deangelo right now. Not only is Graves knocking, so is Sean Day. Plus they have another russian kid they signed and a college free agent hanging around. Lots of bodies with only 1 spot maybe open for them all.

    Perhaps that is for the best as NY doesn't fool around with younger players, they tell them EXACTLY what they need to focus on in the AHL and that they will return to the NHL when those kinks are worked out. Dinosaurs like Ken Campbell who live in the last century still think NY is a UFA money vault really need to get their collective head out of their sphincters.

    Deangelo has the knock of not following orders from management, flying off the handle and generally showing a lack of maturity. He is after all just a kid really. Sending him down to start the season is I believe, the test NY is going to give him.

    This is what happened with Buchnevich last season. He needed to improve his core strength, work on his defensive game and give a complete full ice effort. He was told this when sent down to the AHL and confirmed it when interviewed earlier this offseason. Buch did the things management told him he needed to work on and he was back up in the NHL.

    Which leads me to the 2nd point of posting on this thread. Buch is going to explode to the upside. When that happens is anyones guess, but don't wait too long for that boat to sail because once it leaves port, the kid will be close to untouchable for any manager worth his salt that owns him. When his body is ready to absorb the punishment from NHL play, this guy is going to impress.

    Its a touch choice with Vrana and Honka. But Buch is at the top of the list in my view. Then again I am a die hard rangers fan and will be to the day I die. So I am totally biased, but others will confirm that Buch is the real deal.
    Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.
