I agree with that, and I was hesitant to put McDonagh at that spot...but Sather does like his young d-men, and has drafted American heavy in some drafts, so I thought he would try and hit a homerun with this kid. But you are probably right, if they are going to do a feast or famine, then a probably would be a forward, eventhough they already did that twice, and so far hasnt worked out yet...Jessiman, and Graham.
And those picks (Jessiman and Graham) were bad picks at that point in time. There were a ton of holes then. The Rangers have built up their defense prospect pool and they have a decent crop of forwards (Callahan, Bourret, Dawes, Dubinsky, Ansimov). They don't have that guy who projects out to being a top line forward.
For what it's worth,I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rangers try and move up in the draft.
