Rangers' Draft Picks Could All Be Home Runs

Rangers' Draft Picks Could All Be Home Runs

May 9th, 2018 The New York Rangers have a slew of picks in the upcoming 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Three in the first round, two in each of the second and third rounds and then one each in rounds four, five and six. Those ten picks represent lottery tickets where the franchise’s future depends on their scouting, sure, but it also depends on a whole lot...
