The New York Rangers go into the lottery in sixth place overall. They will have the best odds in their history of moving up to a top three pick. At the worst, the lowest they can pick is ninth. One thing everyone should know. It’s a television show.
Last year, there was a lot of chatter about Jeff Gorton and his stone faced appearance at the lottery when the Rangers dropped from eighth to ninth place in the draft. There was no sign of disappointment and no response to what must have been a huge letdown.
