Rangers Take USHL D Hunter Skinner at 112

He’s 6’2 and 176. Right Shot. Headed to Western Michigan. Well we know they aren’t reaching for Forwards, but the pile of D’s far flung as they’ll be, is getting ridiculous.  I’m also surprised that they still haven’t made any trades. They’d been so proactive till now.

Okay, Hunter was the head scratcher that none of the pundits saw as great value till he looked like he belonged at the, now storied, Development Camp. Pursuant to that, Hunter, who's name sound like an Early American hyphenate, has decided to play major junior, where he'll be able to go pro at 19 instead of 20. Encouraging, if they ever clear out the logjam ahead of him in the Ranger org.
