Friday night was probably one of the more important days in the recent history of the New York Rangers.
It was here that we witnessed the controversial move to bypass Oliver Wahlstrom and draft winger Vitali Kravtsov. It was here that we saw the Rangers oversell for the 22nd overall pick, showing their immense interest in defenseman K’Andre Miller. It was here that we saw the Rangers gain access to their second “Lundkvist” in franchise history, despite the fact that it is spelled differently.
These moves were far from well-received.
Ranger fans voiced their displeasure with the seemingly deplorable move of “reaching” for Kravtsov at the ninth pick.
