It is currently the end of the 2nd period and I think by far, the best defensive player on the ice is Victor Mancini. He has a goal and an assist and has got a lot of good looks on the PP. His two way game and awareness seems to be extremely sting. His forecheck and physicality also are pretty good. With the Defensive core of the Rangers so uncertain going into the future, do you think he can make it.

If the Trouba trade happens for Laf/igor cap (more likely than not imo), then Mancini could be a strong RD option to fill the gap. The media seems to be gassing him up big time.
Retire #90, engrave his name on the Cup now
He’s not playing against the top talent from other teams.
That being said, kid is getting good looks and deserves to move on to the next round of cuts.
I’m waiting on him to drop a player so I can make jokes about him sending people to sleep world
Definitely the next top d on our team within a few years
He’s going to start the season at Hartford, but I’m hopeful that he plays this well down there all season. If that’s the case, I could see him getting a call up if there is an injury. Definitely a surprise considering he wasn’t in most prospect articles for the Rangers.
Just watched his shift on the third period five on three. The dude can skate holy crap.
My son and I have been very impressed with him so far. He’s been the most noticeable player that isn’t named Chytl in this game.
He’s quickly becoming a very real prospect for the organization. Still a long way to go but he looks like a diamond in the rough type of player for a 5th round pick.
Boom Boom looked good in terms of hockey sense and positioning for the most part. However, like most of the prospects that played tonight his quickness and agility need some work. Hopefully, he sticks around woth the big club long enough settle in more and show more of what he can do.
Relax.
He had a good game against scrubs. Not sure why people are walking around with boners over it.
