About this episode

Jim Cerny discusses the New York Rangers' prospects and strategies heading into the 2026 NHL Draft with Chris Peters from FloHockey.

The New York Rangers head into the 2026 NHL Draft holding 11 picks — including No. 5 overall and two in the first round — and the stakes couldn't be higher. Jim Cerny sits down with FloHockey's Chris Peters, one of the most respected NHL draft analysts in the game, to break down exactly what the Rangers should expect at No. 5 and why this class is deeper than you might think at the top of the blue line. Peters explains why five is actually a favorable spot this year, discusses the prospects most likely to be available and digs into why player development decisions after the draft may matter even more than the pick itself. He also weighs in on EJ Emery's progress and the Rangers' thin prospect pool heading into a massive offseason. Then Jim goes solo for segment two — reacting to the Dylan Garand signing, breaking down the Brady Tkachuk trade and what it means for New York, making the case for a Patrick Laine flier in free agency, and previewing what the Rangers need to do before training camp. 🏒 Subscribe to Rink Rap for ongoing New York Rangers coverage from the Forever Blueshirts network. 📝 Full written coverage: ForeverBlueshirts.com Chapters: 0:00 - Intro: Rangers &amp…
