Rangers 2009 Draft Review

Leslie Treff at Hockey's Future takes a look at the Rangers 2009 Draft...

"It appears that the Rangers swung for the fences in this draft. From Kreider to Bourque to Mikail Pashnin (who was the No. 1 overall pick in the recent KHL draft), these are high risk/high reward prospects. The team made a solid selection with its second-round pick, as Werek has late first to early second round potential, but all of the other picks were somewhat of a surprise and risky. Only time will tell whether this strategy works out."

Treff then gives extended remarks on each of the Rangers picks.

...from signing Gaborik to the the team's draft picks Sather has taken a lot of risks this summer. Must be easy when you know your job will, apparently, never be on the line.
