The Rangers have signed 6-7, 2023 Sixth Round Pick (178th overall) Dylan Roobroeck to an entry level deal.
From the Rangers:
- Roobroeck, 19, collected 26 goals and 46 assists for 72 points in 68 regular season games in 2023-24 for the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). On the Generals, he ranked second in points and third in assists. During the OHL playoffs, Roobroeck had a team-high 11 goals, along with 15 assists for 26 points in 21 games.
- The London, Ontario native has played three seasons in the OHL, split between the Generals and Niagara IceDogs, accumulating 146 points (46G-97A) in 200 regular season games. Last season, the 6-7, 204 pound forward tied for the Oshawa team lead with 38 assists.
He had three fights this past regular season and two more in the playoffs.
Adam Rotter: Another giant to add to Matt Rempe and Adam Edstrom. Roobroeck should have another year of junior eligibility and put up nice numbers this past season in the OHL, especially in the playoffs. Like with Rempe, the Rangers will take their time and develop Roobroeck when he turns pro, but it’s not crazy to imagine that they could throw out a line of entirely 6-7 forwards with Roobroeck, Rempe and Edstrom.
