Jan Levine: Rangers move from sixth to second in the draft lottery, Kakko to NY? New Jersey to select first

I couldn't be happier, assuming they land Kakko.
Hughes size scares me, I think Kakko is the safer of the two

Is Hughes starting in college like his brother did

Looking forward to how this rivalry shakes out fellas

Probably? But he hasn't said anything yet.

Finally something rolls our way. Let's not (frank) this up. Draft one of these kids and trade some of those other 1st rounders

It’s great for both franchises and hopefully a big step toward a renewed rivalry at the top of the standings. Better days ahead.

Congrats!

he said before the draft that he wants to go directly to NHL while he was interviewed

I think I heard he's OHL bound if he doesn't make his NHL team (Devils)

A great day for us Ranger fans ! We cant miss with either one, but I would rather have Kakko

I've never thought Panarin was coming but this sure has to help. Getting JD as prez might help a little more. Great night! Woke my son up to tell him and the mrs. Is mad as hell. Awesome times.

Should be fun in NY. Add in Barzal and three young elite players in NY

Probably? But he hasn't said anything yet.

Actually, i believe word leaked from the family that he wasn't. Not 100 percent on that but I'm pretty sure.

poor COL down to 4th - dats proper horror

yeah, of course, he'll be a Devil

This all happened cause the Rangers didn't just tank...battled hard all the way to the end.

That OT winner against the Pens was HUGEEE

Remember when everyone wondered what Sakic was doing. Still turned out pretty well for them.

it's true, if we had Buffalo's odds, we'd be in that spot

I don’t even care about the Devils getting the first pick, we have more in place plus I like Kakko more than Hughes

Bingo, (frank) tanking on purpose

Really don’t want Hughes as a ranger..he’s a midget

I will say the brightside is that The rangers can just wait for whoever the Devils don't pick.
