NHL Draft 2014: Recapping all the Rangers action from Day 2
After not making any picks in the first round, the Rangers were busy on Day 2, selecting seven players.
When the Rangers made a move for Martin St. Louis at the trade deadline, Glen Sather and co. shipped away the Rangers first round pick. (Actually, it's important to note it was a conditional second in this year's draft that became a first when the Rangers made the Eastern Conference Final. Most people would probably take a Conference Final appearance every season over a first round pick.) But despite being short on draft day assets, a few moves found the Rangers making seven picks on Saturday, bringing in a new crop of prospects.
Here's a quick look at all the new Blueshirts:
