Rangers substitute after Alexis Lafreniere


With two picks in the first round of the NHL Draft 2020, the Rangers have plenty of options to choose from, including a consensus number / prospect:

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.
