Draft prospects to watch...

I've targeted these five individuals that could possibly be available when the Rangers pick 15th overall at the draft. Keep in mind I'm not a draftnik by any means I've just done a little research on a few sites for players expected to go 10-20. To be honest all 5 guys are forwards, as the Rangers are extremely deep on the blueline and Hank is solidified in goal for the Rangers for the next decade.

Mark Scheifele - C - Barrie Colts (OHL)
This kid is my favorite he has some set of hands. I would love to see him in the NHL in 2 years.

Mark McNeill - C - Prince Albert Raiders (WHL)
At 6'-2" 210 lbs. he's physically ready for the pros. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in the minors sooner rather than later.

Matt Puempel - LW - Peterborough Petes (OHL)
Led all OHL rookies in goals and points last year. Could be the left winger the Rangers are looking for. Not afraid to drop the gloves either.

 

Mika Zinanejads - C - Djurgardens IF (SEL)

Top euro forward ranked by NHL Central Scouting, projected to go 8-12 but needs more time in Sweden. Could fall to 15 if the Rangers are lucky.

Vladislav Namestnikov - C - London Knights (OHL)

He was pegged by some in the middle of the season as a potential Ranger draftee. His stock as fallen somewhat and could be targeted by the Rangers if they wish to trade to the bottom of the first round and recoup draft picks lost in recent trades.
