They had to give away Nick Leddy too. And Brandon saad. Every summer they will have to do this and a lot of it is due to their ridiculous Hossa contract.

Forgot about those 2. That'd be like the Rangers giving away Hayes, Skjei, Miller, Kreider and Fast. The Rangers would get killed in digital and print media, rightfully so.

Yeah. That team needed center depth. They have enough on the wing.

Then trade down and nab Keller? Don't like that pick at #3.

It's amazing how three cups can give you some cover.

But they use those guys to re-load as well. They have their core, and everyone else is replaceable to manage the cap and to trade for picks that will come in on entry levels. I actually think their system is perfect. They trade guys before the move into the higher salary contracts, under which they are no longer a bargain.

They took Dubios 2 spots before he was slated to go. It's like the pick Zach Senyshyn here.

I didn't like Dubois at #5 either so...

But they get to be immune from criticism, switch cities and we're getting roasted

Who I'd be happy with the Rangers draft in round 3;

Igor Shvyryov : Skilled Russian center. At least 2 years away, but will be a nice little insurance policy if the Rangers trade Stepan and don't get Stamkos.

Eetu Tuulola: 6'4 227lb power forward out of Finland. Will have a chance to show his skills on WJ stage with Laine, Aho, Saarela departing. Has played against men of the Liiga and shoots Right Handed. He's the one I'd be happiest with

Luke Green: Saint John of the Q. RH d-man who' has a a good season the one previous before this one. Injury bug hit him a bit this year. Scouting report has him as one of the best shot selectors from the blue line. 6'1, 190lb.

Agreed. Could be a steal at #81. Remember him from WJC-18. Found a clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egWI3evAPvk

I remember another Finn from WJC-18 that could be available at #98 - Aapeli Rasanen (C). Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NQIskeWvkQ

Don't know much about Rasanen. But that's your corner of the world. So I value your opinion.

He was a top 5 talent. Only "Mckeen's Hockey" had him out of the top 5 and it was at 8. So Going by that the Jackets reach 5 spots. Not terrible and worth the bashin IMO.

After watching his U18 highlight reel, I'd be ok with him too.

Stop doing this. Every time you name names the Rangers always pick someone else. Say like I hope they take, small kid with the werid suit? Or haggard kid who looks like he is 25
