The NHL Entry Draft is less than two weeks away. Who will the New York Rangers select? The team at Blue Line Station has put there 2018 prospect rankings together.
The most important day for the New York Rangers since game seven of the 2015 Eastern Confernence Finals is June 22. That is the day the Rangers will use (or trade) their three first round picks to help jumpstart their rebuild.
There are lots of talented prospects in this draft. It is a very deep draft class, especially on defense, and whether the team moves up, moves down a few slots, or stays where they are, they will end up with a really good prospect at the top of the draft. Even with their late round picks, the Rangers might stumble upon some players with enormous potential.
This weekend, a few members of our Blue Line Station family –Dan Carrozzi, Jen Moglia, Peter Reichert, Sean Raggio and myself– got together to make our NHL Entry Draft first round big board. Each of us made separate 1-31 rankings. After that, we all averaged our rankings together and that’s how we got this list. Check it out!
