Least favorite pick.
Not because of the player, he's a good raw prospect, but the others that went in this round seemed way ahead of this player. 7 of the 10 previous picks were guys I had ranked higher, as well as every player drafted in round 4 after him.
Case McCarthy going to the Devs !

The legit argument to be made is McCarthy already being who he is and Skinner having not tapped into his full potential yet.

I would view this pick as being similar to taking a kid like Korczak - a complimentary, do the little things type of defenseman, with size and reach.
Arguably not as far along as similar kids going in the second, but an example of a prospect for whom you do a bit more projecting.

Seems like it could be a reckless pick given they just acquired a Fox

Just saying, this would be akin to the Coyotes drafting Randy Roadrunner, the temptation would always be there.

My apologies, that was way over my head
My joke would have been doubly bad had they also drafted Dustin Wolf

And, as we’ve talked about regarding spacing things out, is it a bad thing if this kid takes a full four years to properly develop?

Absolutely not.
The Rangers are one of two, maybe several teams who will get an instant payoff from this draft.
Then you have a couple of guys who could be on the radar in two or three years. Then a couple of guys who could be on the radar in three or four years.
It’s a pretty balanced draft.
The difference between an A and an A+ for me? The ability to get a team to close a deal at the draft.

I would probably have to go back to 2008 to find a draft that I feel as good about as this one. Last year’s 1st round was excellent, but round two will always piss me off.
