ESPN - Post-lottery NHL mock draft: Who goes after Gavin McKenna?
Just the Rangers bit:
5. New York Rangers
Caleb Malhotra, C, Brantford (OHL)
The Rangers desperately need a play-driving forward. Their track record of forwards drafted in the top five hitting their ceiling is poor, and they would have to hope that Malhotra is the exception.
It wouldn't be totally surprising if Malhotra is gone by this point, and there are defensemen with higher potential for the Rangers to select, but he'd be a strong fit if he's on the board.
Malhotra is a competitive, play-driving, two-way center with size and a growing offensive profile. Malhotra compares positively to Matty Beniers and Sam Bennett. It is fair to believe Malhotra will have a better offensive output in the NHL, while likely having similar two-way impact. He can be a cornerstone of a Cup-contending team in the very near future.
