An Exploration of Trading the Second-Overall Pick for the 2019 NHL Draft

When Jeff Gorton takes the stage at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft on June 21st, he will do something that no Rangers General Manager has done in over half a century; announce the second-overall pick. But for the sake of speculation, what if he decided to trade that pick or more importantly; what would it take for him to do so? More on that a little later.

The last time the New York Rangers held the No. 2 overall pick for an NHL Draft, it was still an amateur draft and there were only four rounds.
