## Resource

Noah Laba, the 23-year-old New York Rangers center, is poised for a breakout season after a solid rookie year. With the team trading Vincent Trocheck and thinning their middle-six depth, Laba is now expected to anchor the third line, play more minutes, and deliver consistent offensive and defensive contributions. His speed, effort, and face-off prowess earned him a roster spot last year, but this season, the Rangers are counting on him to take a major leap—both in production and reliability—to become a cornerstone of their bottom-six depth. The organization’s faith is evident, having acquired Cole Beaudoin as a potential future partner, betting big on Laba’s continued growth.
