The New York Rangers currently enter the 2023 NHL Draft with five selections starting with 23rd overall in the first round. That is the case unless GM Chris Drury pulls off any trades today or on the floor of Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee tonight.
It’s been an interesting offseason thus far with the dismissal of Gerard Gallant and the hiring of new head coach Peter Laviolette. In my opinion, this was the Rangers’ big summer move thanks to limited cap space (under $12 million) and a number of contracts with full no-move clauses (NMC) in 2023-24.
