Report: Penguins end up with No. 12 overall draft pick
June 24 - The Pittsburgh Penguins will now have the No. 12 overall selection in Friday's NHL Draft after they received the New York Rangers' selection to complete a Jan. 31 trade that didn't even involve them, ESPN reported Tuesday. The Vancouver Canucks received the pick in a trade that sent J.T. Miller to the Rangers. The Canucks then sent that pick to the Penguins in a package to land defenseman Marcus Pettersson. The Rangers' first-round pick in the Miller trade was conditional. It would be either their first-round pick in Friday's draft if it was in the top 13, or they could wait and send away their first-round pick in 2026. The Rangers chose the former. By landing the No. 12 overall selection, the Penguins now have consecutive picks since they also will select at No. 11 overall. Their own selection came after they finished 13th in the Eastern Conference at 34-36-12 (82 points) and missed out on the playoffs by finishing seventh in the wild-card chase. --Field Level Media

Canucks: Conor Garland named top three player for U.S. at worlds
Conor Garland is showing well at the world championships in Stockholm. The Vancouver Canucks spark plug forward was named one of Team USA's top three players for the tournament Saturday after his squad beat Sweden 6-2 in the semifinals at Avicii Arena before what was announced as a sellout crowd of 12,350. The Americans will face either Denmark or Switzerland in the gold medal game tomorrow. Puck drop is 11:20 a.m. Pacific. Garland gave the Americans a 3-0 lead over the Swedes, converting on a rebound off a one-timer chance from Logan Cooley. Garland has five goals and 10 points in nine games The Americans also feature Canucks forward Drew O'Connor, 26. O'Connor has one goal and four points in nine games with the Americans so far in the tournament. The Swedes featured Canucks defenceman Marcus Pettersson, as well as former Vancouver goalie Jacob Markstrom and centre Elias Lindholm. Fellow forwards Cooley, who plays with the Utah Mammoth, and Frank Nazar, who plays for the Chicago Blackhawks, were also saluted along with Garland for their play in the tournament so far after the win over the Swedes. The victory ended a 12-game losing streak in the semifinals for the Americans and has the U.S. playing in its first gold-medal game in the event since 1934. 'We played well as a team. We had some guys play awesome. We're just excited about the opportunity we've got,' Garland told reporters afterwards. 'We're locked in, we're playing our game.' Garland is from Scituate, Mass., and this is his third worlds with the Americans. In 2021 in Latvia, he led the Americans in goals (six) and points (13) in 10 games and helped them to a bronze medal. Garland, 29, had 19 goals and 50 points in 81 regular season games this past season for Vancouver. It was his fourth year with the team. He's an unrestricted after next season, finishing off a deal this coming campaign that has him at a cap hit of $4.95 million. @SteveEwen SEwen@ How the Canucks' coaching staff stacks up against Cup contenders And then there was one — Abbotsford Canucks playoff series headed to deciding game

No magic this time: Rangers have No. 12 pick in 2025 NHL Draft after dropping 1 spot in lottery
The New York Rangers didn't have much good fortune this season, and that trend continued into the offseason when they dropped one spot in the NHL Draft Lottery on Monday. The Rangers finished 11th from the bottom in the League standings, but now have the No. 12 overall selection in the 2025 draft, which will be held June 27-28 in Los Angeles. The Rangers entered the lottery with a three percent chance to land the No. 1 overall pick. Instead their archrival, the Islanders, landed the top selection in this year's draft, making a big jump from the 10th spot. The Islanders had only slightly better odds at 3.5 percent to move up to No. 1, but the ping-pong balls bounced their way. Advertisement The second phase of the lottery was won by the Utah Hockey Club, and they now have the No. 4 overall pick. Utah began the night sitting at No. 14, but draft lottery rules stipulate that no team can move up more than 10 spots. Since Utah finished behind the Rangers in the standings and jumped them in the lottery, the Blueshirts were knocked back one spot to 12th overall. The San Jose Sharks, who had the best odds entering the lottery, will pick second overall, and the Chicago Blackhawks dropped to No. 3 overall. Now, the Rangers must decide if they want to hold on to their 2025 first-round pick or turn it over to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Rangers traded this pick to the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 31 when they acquired J.T. Miller. The Canucks then flipped it to the Penguins in a deal for defenseman Marcus Pettersson. Advertisement Since the pick is top-13 protected, the Rangers can keep it this season and then send an unprotected 2026 first-round pick to the Penguins, or give this year's pick to Pittsburgh and retain their 2026 selection in the first round. The Rangers have until 48 hours before the draft on June 27 to inform the Penguins of their decision. Related: Rangers rumors — Irritated Brady Tkachuk says trade wish 'just not true' Luck shined previously on Rangers, but this time Islanders win draft lottery The Rangers had their share of luck in the recent past with the draft lottery, including winning the right to select forward Alexis Lafreniere with the No. 1 pick in 2020. They won the draft lottery that year after finishing 18th in the League; the Rangers were allowed to move up that many spots because they lost in the Stanley Cup Qualifiers during the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 season. Advertisement In 2019, the Rangers selected forward Kaapo Kakko with the No. 2 overall pick after moving up four spots in the lottery. They lost out to the New Jersey Devils, who won the lottery and selected center Jack Hughes first overall. The Islanders have selected first overall four times in their history: 1972 (Billy Harris), 1973 (Denis Potvin), 2000 (Rick DiPietro) and 2009 (John Tavares). Matthew Schaefer, a defenseman with Erie in the OHL, is projected by many to be the top pick in this year's draft. Long Island native James Hagens, a forward at Boston College, could be an intriguing option for the Islanders, as well. In an interesting side note, had the Islanders defeated the Rangers once this season in regulation, the teams would've flipped spots in the lottery and the Rangers would've ended up with the top pick. The Rangers swept all four games in the season series with the Islanders.
