Rangers and Canadiens Matchup Well For Potential Blockbuster Trade

The 2018 NHL Entry Draft begins Friday night in Dallas and the Rangers, as you almost certainly know, currently hold the ninth, 26th and 28th overall selections in the first-round of the draft. Will they keep all those picks? Will some of them be packaged in a big blockbuster trade? Will the Rangers be drafting a forward or a defenseman at nine? All of these questions will be answered soon enough; but as for a trade package, there’s one idea that comes to mind: Kevin Hayes, the 9th overall pick, and the 26th overall pick go to the Montreal Canadiens for their third overall selection in the 2018 draft.
