New York Rangers' prospects Gabe Perreault, EJ Emery and Drew Fortescue are projected to be members of the 2025 Team USA World Juniors team according to The Athletic’s Scott Cullen. [https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5932170/2024/11/21/world-juniors-roster-projections-lineups-canada-usa/] The World Juniors are set to take place from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 and Rangers’ fans have a lot to be excited about. Gabe Perreault is arguably New York’s top prospect. The 2023 first-round pick is one of the best players in the NCAA right now as he’s been playing some phenomenal hockey for Boston College. In his freshman season, he recorded 60 points in 36 games while the 19-year-old currently has six goals, 10 assists and 16 points in just 10 games. The Rangers drafted Emery in the first round during the 2024 NHL Draft, adding another promising defenseman to their prospect pipeline.

Fortescue was selected by the Rangers in the third round back in 2023 and actually is with Perreault at Boston College. In his freshman season, Fortescue played 40 games and posted a total of four goals, four assists and eight points.
