The Rangers announced their roster for the 2019 Traverse City tournament, and it will feature a first look at five of the club’s top prospects.

The roster is highlighted by Kaapo Kakko, the Rangers’ second-overall pick in this year’s NHL Draft, 2018 first-round pick Vitali Kravtsov, Adam Fox, Yegor Rykov and goaltender Igor Shesterkin. The prospect tournament begins Sept. 6 in Traverse City, Michigan.

There are several current Rangers who previously participated in the tournament, including Jesper Fast, Brady Skjei, Pavel Buchnevich, Boo Nieves, Lias Andersson, Alexandar Georgiev, Filip Chytil and Brett Howden. All of those players ended up playing NHL games the same season in which they played in Traverse City.

Kakko is joined by fellow 2019 draftees Matthew Robertson, Karl Henriksson and Hunter Skinner.

Fox, a lifelong Rangers fan, was acquired from Carolina earlier this offseason. Rykov was acquired from the Devils in the Michael Grabner trade before the 2018 deadline. Shesterkin, a candidate to be Henrik Lundqvist’s heir apparent, was a fourth-round pick in 2014.
