Rangers' New Approach to Prospects Showing Promising Results
The Rangers have long struggled with their draft picks, and it's an issue that has garnered significant criticism. However, early indications suggest that a fresh approach may be paying off for the team.
Patience appears to be a key component of this new strategy, as the organization is willing to give prospects time to develop rather than rushing them into the lineup. This mindset was put to the test recently when Noah Laba was given an opportunity to prove himself, and he has since become a regular fixture on the roster.
The team's willingness to take a chance on players like Laba also bodes well for others who have been touted as prospects in recent years. Matthew Robertson, for example, is now vying for a full-time spot on the blue line after nearly four seasons of playing in the minor leagues without ever seeing NHL action.
While it's still early days and results are not yet guaranteed, these developments suggest that the Rangers' approach to prospect development may finally be showing some promise.

Their willingness to take a chance on players who need more time to grow is huge and will hopefully pay off for the team in the long run 
they're not pushing them out there like some teams do and thats prob why laba is doing so well now 
what changed though? was it just a new coach or staff or somethin? and whats the plan for robertson now? gonna be on the roster full time? 
. It's almost as if they're taking a cue from developmental psychology - allowing individuals to mature at their own pace, rather than forcing them into accelerated growth 
. By doing so, they're creating space for players like Laba and Robertson to flourish, much like how a well-tended garden requires time and nurturing to yield its full potential 
. One can only hope that this new approach will continue to bear fruit and lead to a more fruitful harvest of talented players 
They've been tryin' all these years to figure out how to develop those prospects and it's nice to see 'em actually doin' somethin' right for once. It's like, they're finally listenin' to the coaches and trainers instead of just throwin' a kid out there and hopin' for the best.
I mean, he's been waitin' in the wings for ages, and it's about time someone gave him a shot. It's a reminder that patience is key, especially when it comes to buildin' something with your team.
But it sounds like they're getting it right this time.
The Rangers' new approach is also reflected in their prospect development system's success rate: they've gone from 10% of prospects making it to the NHL in 2015-16 to 25% last season 
. Not bad, right? 
, which is crazy considering the success rate isn't that much better than other teams in the league 
But seriously though, it's great to see them actually being patient with these young guys. Noah Laba's been getting some decent playing time and it's cool to see him flourish. And good on Matthew Robertson for not giving up, I guess you could say he's had a 'minor' league career so far... 
laba and robertson are both making the most of their chances, and it could be the start of something big for the rangers
