Most seventh round picks do not end up being threats to the all time record books. When all is said and done, Henrik Lundqvist will likely finish third all time with more than 484. Not too bad for the 205 overall pick of the 2000 NHL entry draft. In Lundqvist the Rangers have had one of the league’s best goaltenders from pretty much the moment he took the starting goaltender job back in 2005.
Following a seven year stretch in which the organization routinely finished in the bottom half of the league, the Rangers made a triumphant run.
