David Edstrom, C, Frolunda Jr. (SWE-JR): Adding young skill in the middle could be the best option for the Rangers at this point, with Mika Zibanejad at age 30 and Vincent Trocheck turning 30 before next season starts. Edstrom (6-3, 185) is a smart player with great size who averaged a point per game (28 points in 28 games) in Sweden’s junior league. Check out our entire NHL Draft preview episode! The Rangers currently own 5 draft picks and the number 23 overall pick. Who are some of the players they could target in the first round? Who are some sleeper picks?
