In the history of the New York Rangers Draft, selecting players in the later rounds (6th round) has worked out very well for them. The list of players drafted by the Rangers in the 6th round that had solid careers in the NHL: Eddie Johnstone (1974), Tom Laidlaw (1978), Reijo Ruotsalainen (1980), Tony Granato (1982), Kjeil Samuelsson (1984), Darren Turcotte (1986) and Carl Hagelin (2007). Perhaps the best selection for the Rangers in the round 6 will be their 2010 selection of Jesper Fasth. Interesting fact leading up the 2010 draft was that Fasth did not appear on the NHL Central Scouting; which ranked European skaters available for the draft. If not for Red Line Scouting Report service; which had ranked Fasth 110 overall, most people might not have heard of him at all. Reportedly, one of the reasons why Fasth was overlooked was based on his date of birth (December 2, 1991). Apparently, being younger and undersized (5’11/165 lbs) caused Fasth to slip through the cracks.
Since being drafted, Fasth had a solid season in 2010-11 (65 games: 20 goals-22 assists) while playing against older and stronger players. Fasth has also added nearly 15 pounds to his frame (5’11/179lbs) and is currently playing for the HV71 Jonkoping Swedish Elitserien team and in four games has produced a goal.

Back in December, Jesper Fast signed a two-year extension with his team in Sweden.
At the time it was thought that Fast would spend this season in Sweden with HV71 and then come to North America next season.
In an interview with Hockey Sverige, Fast said that he is happy to spend this season in Sweden as he needed another year to play there after he lost most of last season to an injury, but that the plan is to come to North America next season.
While speaking with the Rangers website, 2010 sixth rounder Jesper Fast said that speed and skating are things that he can bring to the ice, “My skating is my biggest strength. It’s my best skill, and I try and use it as best as I can to beat opponents and make my teammates better.”
He adds that he wants to show the Rangers his speed and continue to develop under the eye of the organization.
It has been written before that Fast is the type of talented player that you make room for on your roster.
It is expected that Fast will spend this season in Europe and come to North America next season.
Leslie Treff wrote in April, “What that will involve is likely giving Fasth a bonus while having him play in Europe for another season, with no assurance that he will play for the Rangers in the fall of 2013. Although that is a big risk, it is expected that New York will do just that, as Fasth has excellent offensive upside.”
At Hockey’s Future, Leslie Treff writes that the Rangers need to sign 2010 sixth round pick Jesper Fasth to an entry-level contract to be able to keep his rights.
Treff writes that the Rangers need to offer Fasth a contract in the next two months, “What that will involve is likely giving Fasth a bonus while having him play in Europe for another season, with no assurance that he will play for the Rangers in the fall of 2013. Although that is a big risk, it is expected that New York will do just that, as Fasth has excellent offensive upside.”
Treff writes that Oscar Lindberg, acquired for Ethan Werek last spring, is in the same situation as Fasth.
On Lindberg, Treff writes, “according to the Rangers, the experience Lindberg is getting is excellent, and his development is on target. Projected to be a second- to third-line player in the NHL, the Rangers are looking for Lindberg to develop into a mostly defensive forward.”
Treff writes that Lindberg could play next season with the Whale.

HV71 has announced that they have signed Rangers 2010 sixth round pick Jesper Fasth to a two-year contract extension.
It says in the piece that Fasth is likely to sign a contract with the Rangers but he likes having the option of staying in Sweden to continue to develop his game.
HV 71 har skrivit nytt 2-årskontrakt med Jesper Fasth. Räknar med att han stannar ett år och flyttar till NY Rangers 2013. #twittpuck
This tweet translates to:HV 71 has posted a new 2-year contract with Jesper Fasth. Expect that he will stay one year and move to NY Rangers 2013th # twittpuck
Fasth, 20, had five goals and 11 assists in 21 games this season.
Spending at least one more year in Europe after missing this one is probably a good idea. He is still under Rangers control and as long as he is he can take his time in developing into another sixth round Swedish steal.

This translates to: “He’ll be gone for quite some time.” Ulf Dahlen does not sound veryhopeful as regards Jesper Fasth.
WARNING: Video Is Not Pleasant To Watch

Marian Gaborik is signed for two more seasons after this and so is Ryan Callahan. I think there is a good chance both players get brought back and give these guys a chance to develop properly, though I wouldn’t rule out JT Miller making the team in a bottom six role, a la Ryan Kesler, and then working his way up the lineup. Not to mention that Miller is listed as a center by Plymouth, but has played wing before.
Thomas is so interesting to me and he hasn’t had the best season so far. His talent was evident in Traverse City but he didn’t have enough size and strength. More than anything I hope he is working on that.
