Rangers Hold 12th Overall Pick After Draft Lottery With A Big Decision To Make
The Rangers were slotted to get the 11th overall pick but dropped one spot during the draft lottery.
Dylan Garand Likely To Serve As Marc-André Fleury's Backup For Team Canada At World Championship Dylan Garand will get the opportunity to display his skills on an international stage as he was named to Team Canada for the 2025 IIHF Men's World Championship.
Now that the organization knows where they stand in the lottery, there's a big decision they'll have to make.
As part of the J.T. Miller trade, the Rangers have to give up either their 2025 or 2026 first-round pick.
Despite missing the playoffs this season, the Blueshirts still seem to have championship aspirations going into the 2025-26 campaign, so there's a good chance they finish with a better record hence a pick later in the first round.
However, if the Rangers decide to keep their pick in this year's draft and regress next season, that could be a costly decision that haunts the franchise.
Meanwhile, the New York Islanders won the draft lottery and will hold the first overall pick.

Washington women's basketball G Avery Howell earns MVP honors at GLOBL Jam
Coach Tina Langley and the Washington Huskies picked up an exciting scorer through the transfer portal in former USC Trojans guard Avery Howell. While it will be a few more months before she takes the floor in purple and gold for the first time, she has spent her summer on the international circuit with Team Canada. After she helped her country to a fourth-place finish at the FIBA U19 World Cup in Czechia, where she averaged 14 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, she starred at the GLOBL Jam tournament in Toronto. After Team Canada secured the gold medal with a 72-65 victory over the Texas Longhorns on Sunday, Howell was named the tournament's MVP. Over four games, Howell starred, posting 21.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per contest, while shooting an astounding 71 percent from three-point range. She capped that off with an impressive 24 points and 7 boards in the gold medal game. "Her threes are like layups when she's open. So clean out of her hand, really drills them," Team Canada head coach Carly Clarke told the media after the game. "But I think what really makes her special is her motor and her competitive nature. She never stops. She's not discouraged if she misses." That seems to be a promising glimpse of what Howell, who averaged 7.5 points and 3 rebounds per game as a freshman with the Trojans while shooting 39.9 percent from long range, can bring to the table for Langley. As either a bench option behind All-Big Ten guards Elle Ladine and Sayvia Sellers, or as a starter alongside them, she's shown on the international stage that she gives the Huskies another talented weapon to space the floor.
