The New York Rangers ended up making a big decision earlier this week by deciding to keep their 2026 1st round pick and give away their 12th overall selection to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Many Rangers fans have questioned this move and in today’s video we take an in-depth look at what this means for the team.

They currently have 12-13m in available cap and a good portion of that will go to Cuyle and Miller or Miller's replacement. I hear all these rumors of glamorous additions but how? It's going to take a big trade to achieve cap relief. There's teams STACKED with available space that can DWARF any Rangers offer to any UFA's or RFA's. We all know this team needs a reboot, but the writing is on the wall. The GM has made way too many bonehead trades and signings and has painted himself and this franchise into a corner.
I was listening to a Sabres analyst who pointed out that Peterka's defensive metrics were pretty bad. Not what the Rangers need for sure. They need defensively responsible forwards like Florida has. Also his offensive metrics were really good when he played with Tage Thompson & not so good when he didn't. Forget Rossi. Knies would be better, but he wants to remain in TO. Giving away that pick was bad IMO because they are not going to get a top 12 pick next year likely & there were 3 quality D there at 12 & they could have got one of them. Oddly enough, listening to McDavid, I got the impression he wants out of Edmonton, so maybe there is a chance to get him when Pararin's 11 mil comes off the books.
Oh
If there is a wrong decision to be made this organization will make it šš
We dont have enough cap space to be offer sheeting
Igor to the Oilers and McDavid to the Rangers.
I've heard enough bullshit about the Rangers. Let's get something done. Drury already missed out on Peterka.
In my humble opinion, the 26ā first rounder gets traded or used in an offer sheet deal. Drury is always wheelinā and dealenā and doing backflips (see: Kane, Patrick, 23ā deadline acquisition)ā¦ā¦ā¦LOL
Could the Rangers actually be worse in 2026 than they were in 2025…yep. I'd be surprised if this roster in shambles can be assembled to compete with Metro opposition. Drury has dug a deep hole.
HIS NAME IS CARSON SUCHI…..I CALL HIM SUCKEEE
Islanders are going to be pounding on the rangers for the next decade with the draft they just had.
