The problem is that five of the six Ranger prospects are defensemen. Vitali Kravtsov is the only forward and is the only prospect in the New York Rangers system considered to have a top offensive upside. For a rebuilding team, that’s a bad sign.
True, if Filip Chytil was not in the NHL and was playing in Europe or the minor leagues he would be one of the leaders of the Czech Republic team, but other than Kravtsov, there are no young players in the organization for which offensive stardom can be predicted.
The depressing part of watching the WJC is seeing all of these young stud scorers playing heavy minutes and dominating the power play and knowing that none of them are future Rangers.
