The article discusses the Rangers' options regarding their 2025 first-round draft pick following an unsatisfactory lottery result. The prevailing opinion suggests that the Rangers should trade this pick to Pittsburgh to retain next year's unprotected pick. However, the article stresses the value of the 2025 draft pick and explores the implications of the upcoming drafts, particularly noting that next yearâs class may not be as strong as anticipated, especially with weak US prospects. The author believes itâs crucial for the Rangers to leverage this asset.
The Rangers should take the hit this year and move the pick to Pittsburgh now to hold onto next year's unprotected pick.
The Rangers 2025 draft pick provides them with valuable options, and I am not convinced that giving it to Pittsburgh should be under consideration.
A year out from the 2026 draft, Gavin McKenna looks like a can't-miss prospect, but the class itself appears weak.
Right now, this looks like an incredibly weak US draft crop, with no standout prospects like Demidov or Michkov on the way.
