## Resource

The New York Rangers missed out on the top pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, dropping to number five due to a cruel twist of fate. They were one ball away from securing the second pick as well. The draft is forward-heavy, and the Rangers missed out on highly-touted prospects Gavin McKenna and Ivar Stenberg. Fans are disappointed, but there are still promising defensemen like Chase Reid, Carson Carels, and Keaton Verhoeff available. Additionally, Caleb Malhotra, son of former Ranger Manny Malhotra, is a potential pick, adding a touch of nostalgia to the draft.
