The New York Rangers have made a major transactiontoday, as goalie prospect Talyn Boko is on the move.
Boko was playing in the ECHL most recently with the Tulsa Oilers, just a step down from the Hartford Wolfpack in the AHL.
HARTFORD, CT - New York Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury announced today that the club has reassigned goaltender Talyn Boyko to the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack from the ECHL's Tulsa Oilers.
The 22-year-old goalie has played 7 games this season for the Tulsa Oilers, with a 4-2-1 record, 2.41 GAA, and a .917 save percentage this season.
Boko made his season debut in the AHL last season during the Hartford Wolfpack's run in the Calder Cup playoffs. He'd play 8:59 TOI against the Hershey Bears on May 16th.
Boyko was selected in the fourth round, 112th overall, by the Rangers in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.
If you're wondering what kind of goalie Boyko is, here's an idea.
Goalies are voodoo, and Talyn Boyko is no different. Boyko seemingly turned his 2021-2022 WHL season around following a midseason trade to Kelowna, where he posted a .913 SV%. This year with that same Kelowna team he posted a .898 SV%. The quality of the team in front of him changed significantly, and that plays a major role.
Boyko is a big guy in net, but moves well for his size. He has a very strong core that helps with lateral movements and keeps his movements smooth. He's very well composed in net, and doesn't make many jerky movements. He has a long way to go, of course, but strong lateral movement and a composed nature go a long way in goaltender development.

Boyko is in year three of his ELC, where he makes $850K AAV, and is set to become a UFA in 2030.
