Personally, I’d give him a B+ or A- so far. The Rangers are now somehow the sixth youngest team in the league and that blows my mind. I’m excited to see the young guys in October.
I’m happy with the Smits pick and the fact that we didn’t overpay for anyone and held onto the no. 5 overall pick. Dorofeyev for 7 years at $11M is so so so much better than a 30 year old Tuch for 8 years at $10.5M.
Now we need to see what happens with Trocheck. Works not done, but it was a good day.
Trade it? Draft a defenseman? Draft a center? Sucks the Rangers didn’t win pick #1 or #2, but I don’t think 3 to 5 is a huge difference in this year’s draft.
