Summary
The New York Rangers sit at pick five in the draft, hoping a top prospect falls to them or they can snag a center of need—especially since their top target, Caleb Malhotra, is likely gone before them. Enter Tynan Lawrence, a high-ranked center with solid work ethic and skating ability, but whose offensive production hasn’t quite matched his potential. While he’s a strong candidate, picking him at five feels risky. The Rangers might be better off targeting defense or waiting for a forward to slip—making this one of the toughest decisions of the draft.
