Not impressed with the top 30 this year. A lot of soft players with defensive questions. I would not be surprised to see the Rangers trade back or trade their draft pick in a trade. This draft was supposed to be strong, but it really flamed out.
I would think they might trade back. Try to pick up a second round next year that they gave up for Kane.
Drury has made decent selections in past drafts, I like the hiring of Housley. He was a great 2 way dman that can help the Rangers young core provided they listen.
Lol that was so bad. He did have the first name right so maybe it’s a language thing and unable to pronounce it
Perrault is a very good pick here who will be playing at a good hockey school at BC. Broke auston matthews league scoring record this season and also his assist record. That being said wish Oliver could have lasted another 4 picks to us or drury somehow was able to trade up to get him. Now rangers off till round 3. Hopefully they find a center or 2 in last 5 picks. Not having a 2nd due to that abortion kane trade really hurts!
Don't know why Perrault dropped so far but Drury gets a guy ranked in the top 10 predraft who's heading to BC to develop.
Skating was an issue for him but last time I checked, Stone on Vegas was always considered a poor skater. Hockey IQ makes up for that. That and a coach who can actually implement a defensive system where you don't need a ton of speed to try and cover up stupid turnovers and positioning. I wasn't high on this draft but he was one of the players I thought was interesting. A right wing to boot. We were fortunate he fell to us.
Drafted a 6’7 center. Had 53 points in junior last year. I’m surprised with his points production and size he lasted until the six round.
