Meet the Rangers

- — David Lazar

JAYDEN GRUBBE Pick: 65th overall Team: Red Deer (WHL) Position: C (RHS) Age: 18 Height: 6-2 | Weight: 200 Skinny: Named captain of his junior hockey team at 17, Grubbe is considered a face-off specialist who excels on both ends of the ice. He has dealt with injury issues, but is a talented player with a high ceiling. RYDER KORCZAK Pick: 75th overall Team: Moose Jaw (WHL) Position: C (RHS) Age: 18 Height: 5-10 | Weight: 159 Skinny: After trading up five spots, the Rangers selected Korczak — a superb stick-handler with a sneaky shot. He is the brother of 2019 Golden Knights second-round pick Kaedan Korczak.

BRODY LAMB

Pick: 104th overall Team: Green Bay (USHL) Position: RW (RHS) Age: 17 Height: 6-0 | Weight: 161 Skinny: Ranked the 178th-overall skater by NHL Central Scouting, Lamb was a reach for the Rangers. However, the 17-year-old does have an elusive shot, which he balances with efficient playmaking abilities. KALLE VAISANEN Pick: 106th overall Team: TPS (Liiga) Position: LW (RHS) Age: 18 Height: 6-4 | Weight: 181 Skinny: You can’t teach size. And you can’t teach familiarit­y. At pick No. 106, the Rangers selected the big forward Vaisanen, who is from the same program in Finland (TPS) as the Rangers, 2019 secondover­all pick, Kaapo Kakko. TALYN BOYKO Pick: 112th overall Team: Tri-City (WHL) Position: G (Catches L) Age: 18 Height: 6-8 | Weight: 201 Skinny: There is tall. And there is Boyko. The Rangers snagged a gargantuan tree in net, drafting the 6-foot-8 Boyko, who recorded a .901 save percentage with Tri-City last season and went 7-7-0 in 14 games.
