As my alarm went off at 1:45 AM, I got up, still half asleep and needing a few minutes. But here it was, the night we have been waiting for. A potential franchise-altering night for the Rangers.
The draft lottery gave the team the best possible outcome with the second overall pick. There won’t be any debate on who will be the best player available. It will be either Jack Hughes or Kaapo Kakko, depending on who the New Jersey Devils select first overall. The consensus second overall pick is Kaapo Kakko. But who is this Finnish player ranked so high?
