No matter what, the New York Rangers own their own draft pick and it will be determined by the lottery on April 9. That’s the only lottery pick they have, but they have at least one more first round pick and a shot at two more.
While it is a deep draft, all of those picks can range from mid to late first round and that matters. Outside of the first round, the Rangers still own their own picks in the second, third, fifth and sixth rounds.
First round pick #1
The Rangers are currently sixth from the bottom of the standings.
