Rangers 2011 Development Roster With Things To Watch For This Week


The New York Rangers released the roster for the 2011 prospect development camp that takes place this week.  All of this year’s draftees will join Christian Thomas, Dylan McIlrath, Carl Hagelin and Tim Erixon in camp.  The biggest name not at camp this year is Chris Kreider which should quell any lingering ideas about him changing his mind this summer and signing with the Rangers.
Things to watch for this week:
Does Carl Hagelin get a leg up on a roster a spot for the fall with a strong camp?
Does Tim Erixon make the impression you would expect an NHL ready prospect to make?
Does Christian Thomas show he is truly a threat to crack the roster as a 19-year-old?
How much has Dylan McIlrath improved the last 12 months?
Where is J.T. Miller in comparison to the other forward prospects?
