The NHL Draft is finally here, and the week leading up to it has been nothing short of exciting. With a pretty bleak unrestricted free agency pool leading into this offseason, there seems to have been a large emphasis from GMs around the league to look at trades as a way of improving their teams. If you're unwilling to wait on prospects, and there's nobody to sign, the only way to stay competitive is to offer a boatload of assets. In what has been the biggest seller's market we've seen in recent memory, do the Rangers join in on the action? And if they do, are they the sellers or the buyers?

The '25-'26 season is officially over, and I can say for a lot of Rangers fans out there that this one is definitely one I'd like to forget soon. Despite a division rival winning the cup, a recently traded Ranger hoisting said cup, and moving down in the draft lotto despite having the 3rd worst record all season, the year was one of the more frustrating seasons we've had to suffer through recently. As it draws to a close, we make the "bearish and bullish" case for the Rangers going into next season, touch on the landscape league-wide, and indulge a little on our hometown Knicks getting to the promised land. Does this spark change from ownership? Or is James Dolan too overcome with joy to remember the red white and blue stepchild?

As we come to a close with the 2026 NHL season, we take a look at the recent news surrounding Dylan Larkin requesting a trade. We also zoom in on what it could mean for the value of Vincent Trocheck, and whether it makes sense to allow players to request a trade without fulling waiving their clauses. Of course, we touch on the playoffs as a whole and how significant the game four win was for Carolina.

With the NHL Stanley Cup Finals officially underway, it's hard to process how quickly the season ended and that it's already June. In today's episode, we touch on the upcoming NHL entry draft, and the recent news that former Ranger Manny Malhotra has been appointed as head coach for the Canucks, which almost certainly means they'll be drafting his son Caleb with the 3rd overall pick. The domino effect from there is that the Rangers can more than likely pivot their focus at 5th overall to a defenseman like Carels, Reid or Verhoeff, with the top of the draft shaping up to be McKenna, Stenberg and Malhotra. We also chat about K'Andre Miller playing in an elevated role with the Hurricanes, and whether or not that trade still makes sense with the benefit of almost a year of hindsight.

As we start to see the NHL finals picture come together, we zoom in on more of the John Tortorella news in Vegas and touch in with a former guest and colleague of John's, Ant SanFilippo. It's no secret Torts has taken the Golden Knights and truly gotten the most out of them. Since his hiring, the Knights are 19-4-1, finishing the regular season off in first place, and just now sweeping the President's Trophy Avalanche. In fact, John is the first coach in NHL history to lead two separate teams to sweeps over the President's Trophy winners, having accomplished this with Columbus over Tampa. We touch in around the league, make our finals predictions, and look at the salary cap landscape of what's to come in the following years.

With not much in the way of New York Rangers news, we take a trip down memory lane in this episode to discuss some of our favorite moments as Rangers fans, the best games we've watched or been to, and some of our favorite players that we grew up watching. We also take a moment around the league to chat about the playoffs, and found it hard to not gush about how fun this New York Knicks team is to watch right now. We also zoom in on some of the recent news surrounding former New York Rangers head coach John Tortorella, and the work he's done thus far with the Vegas Golden Knights.

On todays episode, we chat with a returning guest to go over who the Rangers and their fans could get excited about drafting in June. The Prospect Don is a very knowledgable guy, who in this episode, goes in depth about essentially everyone in the top 30. We first cover the elephant in the room- Who will be left at number 5? We then talk about some of the talent the team could look to grab with their return from the K'Andre Miller trade, the 23rd overall pick from Dallas by way of Carolina. Lastly we touch on some prospects currently in the pool like Liam Greentree and EJ Emery, before looking at how the team has been rebuilding the cupboard over the last few seasons.

The Rangers didn't get lucky in the NHL draft lotto, but the depth of prospects at the top does look as though they can either escape with a good player, or potentially wheel and deal that pick to get a more ready-now piece. With a huge offseason ahead of them, the work begins now to retool the roster into a playoff worthy team. When you look at teams like the Flyers and Ducks in the playoffs, and what a losing season gives you as a consolation prize, I don't see how anyone can cheer on a tanking year. There is one mission - make the playoffs.
