Scott Burnside at ESPN.com has 10 rookies and sophmores to watch this season including Matt Gilroy...
Matt Gilroy, D, New York Rangers
Last year's Hobey Baker Award winner as the top collegiate player will get an instant chance to shine with a Rangers team that has some holes along the blue line.
Gilroy is also mentioned as an impact rookie by TSN.
While Pierre LeBrun also at ESPN looks at the 10 players with something to prove...
Marian Gaborik, F, New York Rangers
What do 17 games get you these days? Five years and $37.5 million, that's what. The immensely talented Slovak winger is under the gun to show the Rangers weren't crazy to hand him that dough given his hip problems last season. Then again, it was only two seasons ago when he put up 83 points (42-41) in 77 games. Which Gaborik will show up this season?
...i don't think there's another player in the league that has more pressure on him to perform than Gaborik.
