In just a few hours the Rangers will take the stage on draft night and select a franchise-altering player with the #2 overall pick. Rangers GM Jeff Gorton stopped by for a chat with the media the night before the draft.
“We talked to [Kakko] the last two days, very impressed…”
If one thing is for certain, the Rangers, and Jeff Gorton in particular, have not kept it a secret as to what their game plan is come draft day. With the Devils expected to take USA stud Jack Hughes with the first overall pick, that leaves the Rangers more than pleased with Kaapo Kakko.
