The Rangers have retooled their roster, adding new players while maintaining young talent eager to contribute this season. Among them, 18-year-old defenseman Alberts Smits, drafted fifth overall, is a standout NHL-ready prospect, while 21-year-old Drew Fortescue and winger Adam Sykora also aim for roster spots despite a crowded lineup. Additionally, Liam Greentree, a proven scorer, and goalie Dylan Garand, who seeks to be Igor Shesterkin’s backup, are notable prospects to watch.
