Kitchener Rangers NHL 21 Expansion Team

[Travolterjohn]

Under the Line what we have ......
With Demko we have a good Starter Goalie. Young Goalie Prospects like Hill, Alnefelt, Lindbom needs time to develop. With FA signing of Howard we got an experienced Veteran Goalie who will maybe share the Starter job with Demko.

Our Defence is the strongest part of our Team. FA signed Veteran Defenceman Dustin Byfuglien bring a lot of Physical Power to our Team. With the Trade for Seth Jones we got one of the best young Defenceman in the League. Also Bowen Byram, Noah Dobson, Jake Bean, Mickey Anderson, Julius Honka, Jeremy Roy and Linus Nassen are noticeable. If we will get a good Offer we possibly will trade Veteran Justin Schultz that one of our D-Prospects can make the Jump to the NHL.

The Offense is our weak Point.
Veterans like Jeff Carter, Kyle Turris, Dustin Brown will bring experience to the Team but playing no more on their past high Level. Maybe one of them can find back to past old days ? Jake DeBrusk, Barret Hayton, Jack Roslovic and Ryan Donato are noticeable Prospects at the near Future. Maybe some of this named can make a big step forward this Season. With the Expansion Draft selection of Josh Anderson we got a Physical Right Winger.
Next Chapter of talented Forward Prospects are Filip Chlapik ( Expansion Draft ), Kirill Marchenko ( Came with the Seth Jones Trade ), Albin Eriksson and the young Winger Philip Tomasino.
