DALLAS --The New York Rangers offered more proof of how committed they are to their ongoing rebuild by selecting 10 players in the 2018 NHL Draft this weekend, including three in the first round.
There was speculation going into the draft that the Rangers would try to trade some of their picks and/or prospects they've acquired since announcing they were rebuilding on Feb. 8 for players who could immediately make them better, but general manager Jeff Gorton said they weren't close to doing that.
