Adam Rotter: I think that trading down to get more picks, both for today and next year as trade deadline assets, would be smart. But when the Rangers do pick I think that they will focus on defense, especially since they have only take three defensemen in the past three drafts and one of them was Braden Schneider. The defense pipeline needs to be replenished even though there is certainly a world where Adam Fox, K’Andre Miller, Ryan Lindgren and Braden Schneider are the top-four, plus, potentially Jacob Trouba, for many years to come.
