As the New York Rangers start to prepare for the offseason, the NHL Combine recently gave them a glimpse of some of the players whom they might be targeting.
With the NHL Draft at the end of June, the Rangers are going to be a team to keep an eye on. New York has the fifth overall pick to go along with theConsidering they had the third-worst record in the league, New York was undoubtedly hoping to be higher in the draft.
However, they were jumped by two teams and fell to fifth. This drop could end up having some ramifications for the team, as it was a significant drop.
Furthermore, with them having a desire to add some help to their forward group, they might miss out on the top options. recently wrote about the biggest question coming out of the combine for New York being whether or not the team will have one of the top forwards to choose from. General view of a flag being waved by New York Rangers / John Jones-Imagn Imageshave only one defenseman being taken with the first four picks.
In most scenarios, it has been Chase Reid who has emerged as the top defender in this class, and his going to the San Jose Sharks makes sense. Of the teams in the top four, the Sharks have the biggest need for help on the blue line. This is a team that features a lot of young talent on the wing, and getting a player like Reid could be a great addition.
Furthermore, while Gavin McKenna will likely be going number one, that leaves the Vancouver Canucks and the Chicago Blackhawks ahead of New York. If one of those two were to take a defense, it could result in Caleb Malhotra or Ivar Stenberg falling to the Rangers at five.and their scouting really ramps up, things should start to become clearer on who might be available for New York. For now, the team would love to get one of the top forwards.
