"As the Rangers continue to struggle for offensive consistency, many are waiting for the Rangers to recall top prospect Gabe Perreault. Even though Perreault is not a savior, he's a solid top six forward putting up over a point per game with Hartford in the AHL who would fill a big need in the top six. But the Rangers are being cautious with Perreault, and for good reason, wanting to learn from their mistakes with K'Andre Miller, Kaapo Kakko, Alexis Lafreniere, and Braden Schneider."
"The letter and the subsequent Rangers rebuild failed for many reasons, some within their control and some outside their control. The Rangers couldn't control that Kakko-the consensus #2 pick in 2019-and Lafreniere-the consensus #1 pick in 2020-didn't pan out the way other top picks from different years have panned out. The Rangers had the unfortunate luck of picking second in 2019, one pick after Jack Hughes, and first in 2020, two picks behind Tim Stutzle."
The Rangers continue to struggle for offensive consistency while awaiting top prospect Gabe Perreault. Perreault is a solid top-six forward scoring over a point per game with Hartford in the AHL who would address a top-six need. The Rangers are exercising caution with Perreault after lessons from K'Andre Miller, Kaapo Kakko, Alexis Lafreniere, and Braden Schneider. The rebuild featured several first-round picks with minimal AHL experience; many top picks spent no AHL games, which hindered development. The club has applied that lesson to Brett Berard, Gabe Perreault, and Scott Morrow by ensuring AHL development time. Not every player needs AHL time.
