Who to watch in Traverse City
The Traverse City Prospect Tournament kicks off Saturday with the Rangers scheduled to face the St Louis Blues in the first of three group matches – 7:00pm MSG/NHL. All four Ranger games are set to be televised for the first time, and it will give many fans their first chance to look at some of the prospects in the system.
Several prospects will be pushing for a chance at an extended stay at camp, at least until the team heads to Europe on September 27th. For a select one or two, it might be the chance to make an early stake for a Rangers roster spot, as Michael Del Zotto did just two years ago. Below is a profile of some of the players to keep an eye on in this year’s competition.
