Jas may be my calmer, more mature alter ego.

I’ve consulted the records and NOT ONCE have the Rangers made the consensus pick at #2 overall.

what about Brad Park

Find me ONE mock draft that had Park going #2 in 1966.

I'm actually curious if Park was considered a consensus pick all the way back in the past. lol

I prefer ‘Edge from the future’.

Before or after you're committed to the asylum?

One man’s asylum is another man’s nursing home.

Yeah because they have a long history of going off the board.

They also have a long history of picking in the top 3 and going off the board

It's still absurd to me that this is our first top 2 selection since Park. Like, WTF???

And that was the year before the league expanded to 12 teams for the 67-68 season. In the expansion era, the Rangers have never selected Top 3, so you really couldnt “go off the board” picking 2nd in a 6 team league.

 

[RangerBlues]

What kind of odds you giving?

50-50

 

[Alluckks]

50-50

I'll bet literally whatever you want

I love how this board spent every singe day of the season worrying about not getting Hughes.

"There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."

Yeah I looked at that draft, there were like 24 guys in it. In total.

With how negative this board is, had that happened today we would be reading posts of how the Rangers management is so bad, how could those 4 players and not one of the other 100s that went undrafted!!

I know it’s totally bonkers but I’m going to be legit worried they botch this until the pick is made.

Anyone else having the site slow down significantly with these stupid infolinks ads appearing when typing on mobile?

Quinn already hinted at Kakko and Bob confirmed we're taking one of Hughes/Kakko. If Bob can't calm you down you're going to mentally kill yourself for no reason my dude.

Darwinism.

[Leetch3]

Lol, I don't think he will at all, but it's a more rational fear than us passing on him.
