Following a trade to move up from the 26th overall pick and selecting K’Andre Miller, the New York Rangers closed out their first round by selecting Nils Lundkvist. The Rangers rounded out their first round selections with a puck-moving defenseman in Lundkvist, who spent last season with Luleå HF of the Swedish Hockey League.
Adam, Alex and Tobias all characterize Lundkvist as a puck-moving defenseman who thrives off of his strong skating ability.
Tobias:
Lundkvist is a puck moving right-handed defenseman who is a very good skater and has good offensive instincts.
