For a team that is in a rebuilding season looking at the draft is very important. Currently the New York Rangers have two first round picks this June, with the potential of having four if the Tampa Bay Lightning win the Stanley Cup and the Dallas Stars make the Western Conference Final.
Since we do not know where exactly the Rangers will pick in the draft, I am going to cover the top 15 projected players in the draft to get a sense of what the Rangers may end up picking. The rankings are based on ISS Hockey’s mid-season rankings.
