For the New York Rangers, the most excitement this weekend will be Friday, shortly after 8pm EST. That’s when the New Jersey Devils will make their first pick in the Entry Draft and that will be the moment when the Blueshirts will know who their future will be tied to.
Unless the New York Rangers pull the trigger on a deal Friday or Saturday and get a second first round pick, they will be done as soon as they make Kaapo Kakko or Jack Hughes their first round selection.
Saturday will be a steady procession of draft picks, seven in all, as the team looks to increase their prospect pipeline.
