Rangers banking on Laba's breakout second season
1 Sep
Summary
- Noah Laba is key for Rangers' offense in his second season.
- He recorded 24 points with nine goals and 15 assists.
- Laba's development is crucial for the team's center depth.
As the New York Rangers prepare for training camp, anticipation builds for the upcoming season, with significant hopes pinned on developing young talent. The team underwent a substantial offseason transformation, aiming to improve performance across the roster.
Center Noah Laba is poised to play a pivotal role in his second year, likely anchoring the third line. His progression is essential for balancing the Rangers' offense, particularly as the team might not boast a prolific scoring attack on paper. Last season, Laba contributed 24 points, achieving nine goals and fifteen assists over 74 games played, and finished with a plus-two rating.
At 23 years old, Laba possesses the potential to become a key player for the Rangers. His growth is particularly significant given the team's current considerations regarding center depth. A strong sophomore season from Laba could be instrumental in the Rangers' pursuit of greater success.
