Day: February 28, 2018

So the Rangers now have three first round picks this year, and a possible first round pick.  As it stands right now, the best pick will be their own this year, projecting to be a top 10 pick.  As of February 27th, they have the 7th worst record in the league, though some of the teams they are “chasing” have played fewer than the 63 games already completed by New York.

The Coyotes and Sabres lead the race to the worst finish with 46 and 49 points with 62 and 63 games completed respectively.  The chances of the Rangers catching either team, while mathematically possible, is rather improbable.
