2016 NHL Draft: NY Rangers select Sean Day with third round pick

The Rangers have selected defenseman Sean Day with their third round pick, #81 overall. Day is a big kid at 6’2″, 224 lbs at just 18 years old. But don’t let his size fool you, Day is one of the best skaters in the draft and is a potential home run pick for the Rangers. Day’s a very good puck mover, and as mentioned a great skater with huge potential.

kudos to the @NYRangers for picking Day with their first pick. Home run potential. Bust too, but not too many home runs left

There seem to be some concerns about his compete level, but this is a great risk taken by the Rangers.
