"Live From the Blue Seats will be back tonight as the gang talks about the draft lottery results, which were essentially a worst case scenario for the Rangers. It also eliminated a prime trade down opportunity with San Jose, with the Sharks jumping to second overall. Still, picking fifth overall gives the Rangers plenty of options and, assuming they don't blow it, will give the Rangers a solid, high ceiling prospect."
"No questions are off limits (well, mostly). You know we answer all questions submitted, well for the part. Looking forward to answering your questions!"
The draft lottery results created a worst-case scenario for the Rangers. The outcome also removed a prime trade-down opportunity with San Jose, because the Sharks moved up to second overall. Despite this, the Rangers still hold the fifth overall selection, which provides multiple paths for roster and prospect planning. With the fifth pick, the Rangers can choose among available players and maintain flexibility. If the selection is handled well, the pick can yield a solid prospect with a high ceiling. Questions are expected to be answered, with only limited restrictions.
