TEAMS: New York Rangers
Rangers’ prospects are showing more offensive consistency this season than the players already donning red white and blue. Mid round prospect Jesper Fasth continued his strong play over the past week and is averaging a point per game as we approach November. The Swedish youngster is now up to 14 points in 14 games for his HV71 side in the SEL and is second in the league in scoring. The SEL is a relatively low scoring league and is often veteran heavy in regard to the offensive leaders so it’s a great achievement for Fasth to be among the league’s best scorers. Considering Fasth scored 16 points all of last season for HV71 it gives you a little more appreciation to quite how good his start has been.

Trade Zuccarello?

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  October 25, 2011
Mats Zuccarello has a lot of talent, an abundance of skill and plenty of vision, but until he strings a few quality performances together at the NHL level doubts will remain about his ability to stick in the big league. Given the prospects coming up through the system, Zuccarello is in danger of becoming increasingly irrelevant in New York. Regardless of whether you think Zuccarello...
