Nothing off the table for Rangers at 2024 NHL Draft

LAS VEGAS — For the Rangers, what happens at the NHL draft in Vegas this weekend will not stay in Vegas.In fact, it could serve as a window of opportunity in an important offseason that has seemingly become about retooling a win-now team — a tricky task that will undoubtedly stay with the club and have future implications in New York.The Rangers appear to be approaching this time of year in a way that is befitting with Sin City as its backdrop.Chris Dury said at the end of the season that nothing is off the table, and everything the Rangers president and general manager has already done — and has been linked to — so far this summer indicates that he meant it.Whether it’s over the next 48 hours or once the sun rises on the start of free agency Monday, the Rangers will be looking to do what the organization needs to do in order to take that next step.No matter the business that needs to be taken care of to do so, no matter if feelings are hurt as a result.The fact that the Rangers got around the Sharks’ being on Barclay Goodrow’s no-trade list by waiving the two-time Stanley Cup champion, who served as alternate captain since he arrived in Manhattan, speaks for itself.Regardless of leadership letter, draft number or whether a player’s been a Ranger for two years or 10, nothing is off the table.

For the right deal, the Rangers will likely be all ears.The Rangers have four picks to make inside The Sphere, also owned by Jim Dolan, this weekend, including one in Friday’s first round at 30th overall.They aren’t scheduled to pick again until Saturday’s fourth round at No.

127 before finishing up with picks No.159 in Round 5 and No.

191 in Round 6.In a draft that’s considered to be pretty shallow, the Blueshirts could go in several different directions with their first-rounder.Sign up for Larry Brooks' Inside the Rangers, a weekly Sports+ exclusive.
