Top Rangers defensive prospect Drew Fortescue staying at Boston College
NY Post
It appears as though the other Rangers prospect at Boston College is staying put.
The Blueshirts engaged in conversations with defenseman Drew Fortescue about turning pro recently, but it sounds like the club’s 90th-overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft is returning to BC for his junior season, The Post has learned.
Gabe Perreault, Fortescue’s now-former BC teammate and fellow Rangers draft pick, made his NHL debut in the Rangers’ 5-4 overtime win over the Wild Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, after burning the first year of his entry-level contract to report to New York.
Fortescue, a native of Pearl River, New York, was in the building to watch Perreault play his first NHL game on the Rangers’ second line alongside Alexis Lafreniere and J.T. Miller.

If you think that winning two playoff series with John Tortorella behind the bench over the 12 years after he left Broadway in 2013 looks good on his résumé and is worth the angst that always accompanies one of his administrations, be my guest and by all means hire this coach who essentially fired himself again last week in Philadelphia.
