Rangers option for No. 1 pick
Alexis Lafreniere
Ages: 18
Shoot: Left
place: Left
Height: 6 foot 1
Weight: 192 lbs
From: Saint-Eustache, Quebec
Widely considered a game-changer and player to make, Lafreniere is a team-first leader who is a talented and versatile scorer. He is now considered ready for the NHL and has drawn comparisons to Florida’s Jonathan Huberdue, but Lafreniore says he is the model of his game after Chicago’s Patrick Kane. Lafreniere is a big sports player who has proven that he can rise to the occasion.
Rangers option for No. 22 pick
Brendan Bryson
Ages: 18
Shoot: Left
place: Center / left
Height: Six feet
Weight: 185 lbs
From: Manhattan Beach, California.
College: University of Michigan committed.
With 59 points (24 goals, 35 assists) in 45 games for the Chicago Steel of the USCHL this season, Bryson (right) was named the Rookie of the Year and the league’s All-Rookie Team and first All-Star Team. Bryson has a very clear upside that can be reached quickly with the right development. Paired with stellar ice sightings that work well when quarterbacking the power play, Bryson is another enticing playmaker option.
Hendrix Lapierre
Ages: 18
Shoot: Left
place: center
Height: Six feet
Weight: 181 lbs
From: Jatinue, Quebec
After diagnosing three symptoms in 10 months, LaPierre may come out of concerns for his long-term durability. Known as an effective puck-carrier who can use his speed, Lapierre is one of the top playwrights available in the draft.
Maverick bork
Ages: 18
Shoot: right
place: center
Height: 5 foot 11
Weight: 185 lbs
From: Plessisville, Quebec
Bork’s hockey IQ is considered one of the best in the draft, with an unstoppable ability to get defenders out of position. Although slightly underscored, Bourke contributes both offensively and defensively and is always known two or three steps ahead of the play.
Ridley Greig
Ages: 18
Shoot: Left
place: Left
Height: 5 foot 11
Weight: 159 lbs
From: Lethbridge, Alberta
Known for his high-energy style, Greig always seems to be in the middle of the action. He brings a balanced mix of skill and patience and is considered a tireless insect. The kind of player would get under his opponent’s skin and then sprinkle in a two-point display to put the cherry on top.
Seth Jarvis
Ages: 18
Shoot: right
place: right wing
Height: 5 foot 10
Weight: 172 lbs
From: Winnipeg, Manitoba
With an arsenal of creative moves, Jarvis has a knack for coming out of tight spots with control of the puck. He plays a relentless attacking style complemented by his fast skating ability and quick release.
Justin baron
Ages: 18
Shoot: right
place: Defence
Height: 6 foot 2
Weight: 198 lbs
From: Halifax, Nova Scotia
Ranger 2017’s 174th-overall pick Morgan Barone’s brother, the younger Baron, imitates his brother’s size and stature. Due to a blood-clot issue this season, the Barons were unable to increase the value of their draft and concerns arose over their offensive abilities. A mobile blueliner, the Baron still has an impressive low shot from the point that can be easily tapped.
Jacob Perrault
Ages: 18
Shoot: right
place: right wing
Height: 5 foot 11
Weight: 198 lbs
From: Montreal, Quebec
Known as a pure sniper, Perrault is considered one of the best shots in the draft. You can find the back of the net from anywhere on the ice and throw any pass into a dangerous shot on goal.
Dylan Holloway
Ages: 19
Shoot: Left
place: Center / wing
Height: 6 foot 1
Weight: 203 lbs
From: Calgary, Alberta
A consistent force on the backcheck that can pickup the puck-carrier and deliver a timely hit, Holloway is a disruptive player whose size is enormous. He is a strong East-West skater who will sacrifice his body for drama.
Connor Zari
Ages: 19
Shoot: Left
place: center
Height: Six feet
Weight: 181 lbs
From: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
A player who raises his game from year to year through hard work and dedication, Zari is a coach’s dream. He has a relatively well-rounded game with no special skills, but his unique work ethic and character make Zary an attractive option.
