Re: Prospect Draft Ranking--REP
Agreed about Bellows being absent. I actually just made a trade dropping down in exchange for Scherbak and a later pick I hope will turn into Bellows.
Chabot, Juolevi and Lindell look most appealing to me on the blueline.
Aho looks to have an inside step at a roster spot so he also stands out.
Regarding the Hellberg Raanta situation, NY has drafted quite a few young netminders so there is a bit of a logjam at that position. Halverson, Skapski, Igor Shestyorkin, Tyler Wall, Adam Huska so it might be best to avoid that smogasbord altogther until the franchise decides what to do after the King retires. At least that is what I am doing. Although in my sim league I have managed to acquire most of the Rangers kids in the hope 1 of them will develop into the next franchise netminder.
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.
