Drafting Hall of Famers is not a Rangers’ strength

When we did our story about the best players from each draft round for the Rangers, we came up with an interesting number. Three. That’s how many Hall of Fame players the New York Rangers have drafted among the 545 players that they have selected since 1963.

The three immortals are Brian Leetch, Brad Park and Sergei Zubov, all defensemen. That number will grow to four when Henrik Lundqvist is inevitably inducted into the Hall, but even four seemed like a pretty small total.
