I’ve talked about several of the prospects that are going to be available during the 2023 NHL draft so far and the Rangers have not exactly given me much else to talk about so here we are going through some more. Nashville will host the draft towards the end of the month and the busy final weeks of the season will be fast approaching. At the conclusion of the draft, teams have to get ready for the qualifying offer deadline for restricted free agents, and then free agency.
Before all of that though, we get to the draft floor and today to Russian defenseman Dmitri Simashev.
