Rookie Camp Filled With … Rookies
It’s September, and the NHL is gearing up for the 2026-27 seasons, the New York Rangers included. Belatedly at least. Almost a week after the Philadelphia Flyers announced their rookie camp roster and schedule, the Rangers announced theirs. Ah yes, what a life it is to be one who follows your New York Rangers.
I guess we should be thankful we get anything at this point. At any rate, enough with the grousing, let’s take a look at what the roster looks like. Meanwhile, if you’re interested at a couple of guys worth keeping tabs on check out this – Prospects Are Looking Good.

Ah, kind of was one of the guys on ESPN when I was first getting into hockey. Didn't mind him, was at a time when ESPN knew what to do with the NHL.
