New York Rangers 22-Year Old Prospect Could Be The Answer To A Major Problem The Organization Faces
New York Rangers prospect just may be the a very big solution to a serious problem the organization is facing heading into the 2025-26 season.
Offensive prospect Noah Laba has entered his very first Rookie Camp with the New York Rangers and has certainly proved he can truly be valuable to the organization.
Prior to Laba joining the Rangers training camp, he was able to get his first 11 professional hockey games with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League and quickly became a prospect to watch.
«I think [the AHL games were] huge, I'm really glad I went there at the end of the year. I think what I learned was invaluable going into this year. If I had not, I think I'd be a little less prepared going into camp.»
Noah Laba Set To Fix Major Issues Within The New York Rangers Organization
During the Rangers rookie camp training Laba centered Gabe Perreault and Brennan Othmann, everyday before finally getting some real game action during the Rookie Series against the Philadelphia Flyers in Allentown, PA.
However, during that time all these prospects made a huge impact. But with that being said, the New York Rangers are lacking options for their centers, and Laba could certainly be an option for the 2025-26 season.
On the other hand, it's not likely that that the 6'4", 214 pound forward will make the Rangers opening night roster as the organization does have a few options such as J.T. Miller, Vincent Trocheck, Sam Carrick, Jonny Brodzinski and center/wing Mika Zibanejad. The only possible way we could see him in the lineup this season is due to potential injuries.
Noah Laba Believes He's The Right Guy For The New York Rangers
The 22-year old recently described himself as a two-way center with a 200-foot game who can play well defensively and play fast through the neutral zone.
Meet Noah Laba, the Rangers 111th overall selection in the 4th round of the 2022 NHL entry draft.
He describes himself as a strong two-way player with a 200 foot game, and looked great thus far in the Rookie Series.
