Two weeks ago, the New York Rangers made a trade that signified a course correction. The 7th overall selection 3 years ago, Lias Andersson, was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a 2nd round pick in the 2020 draft, 60th overall.

That pick was used to draft Will Cuylle (pronounced Coolie), a fast, physical winger from the OHL who plays for the Windsor Spitfires. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Will for a Zoom call to get to know him.
