71st Overall Pick: Zion Nybeck, RW, HV71 (SHL)

Zion Nybeck is yet another player I have talked about before. Nybeck is a player who has really gone under the radar somehow, at least according to the scouts Bob McKenzie polled. Last season Nybeck set the U20 Swedish Junior League points record for a U18 player, putting up 66 points in 42 games. He is a very small player but is hyper skilled and is and excellent playmaker. He also has the ability to be a tenacious forechecker, and I could see him becoming a fan favorite someday if he makes the NHL. Like Jarvis, this would be an absolute coup by Gorton.

Will Wright’s Ranking: 19

90th Overall Pick: Tyler Tullio, C/RW, Oshawa Generals (OHL)

This is a really strong draft year for CHL forwards and I think there will be some high-upside players in the third round. Tullio is one of those players and I hope he is on the Rangers radar. Tullio is a bit undersized, but is very skilled and was a key player for the Generals this season.

He has a decent shot and that makes him a dynamic offensive threat. I could easily see Tullio becoming a middle-six forward on a good team who can play higher in the lineup if needed. He may even be a second-unit power play player. This isn’t a steal per se, but it is a good pick and the Rangers would be betting on a player with good upside and a decent floor.

Will Wright Ranking: 50
