Mention the 2017 NHL Entry Draft to a fan of the New York Rangers and it may not mean much, but bring up the subject of Lias Andersson and there will no shortage of vitriol directed at General Manager Jeff Gorton, Director of Player Personnel Gordie Clark, European Scouting Director Nick Bobrov, Coach David Quinn or Andersson himself.
Believe it or not, the Rangers’ 2017 draft could actually turn out to be one of their best.
