Rangers decision won’t change Penguins draft strategy

With the New York Rangers ending all speculation and transferring the No. 12 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, Kyle Dubas and company now sit on the precipice of a huge moment in their quest to rebuild the franchise and usher in a new era of hockey in the Steel City.

The Penguins have acquired the 12th pick (originally belonging to the New York Rangers) in the 2025 NHL Draft, completing the trade with the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 31.

The Penguins now hold 2 picks in the first round, and six picks in the top-100.
