More on Rangers Moving Up From #20 Pick


Steve Zipay at Newsday reports...

"In July 2005, the NHL entry draft was held in Ottawa and the Rangers traded the 16th and 41st picks to the Atlanta Thrashers to climb to the 12th spot overall to select Marc Staal, who is blossoming into a top-notch defenseman.

Back in Ottawa tonight, the Rangers, slated to pick 20th, will employ the same strategy. Whether the attempt will prove as successful remains to be seen."

For more on the Rangers draft strategy read this article from John Dellapina at the Daily News.

...with all this talk about the Rangers wanting to move up, I'm assuming the Rangers are eyeing someone. So why not.
