## Resource

The New York Rangers, with the fifth pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, aim to add fresh talent to their squad. Defenseman Carson Carels, a top prospect, is a potential target, despite his commitment to North Dakota. The Rangers need to make this pick count, as top forwards and other defensemen may be off the board. Carels pro potential and the Rangers need for a left-handed defenseman make him an intriguing possibility. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
