The rangers giving up this year's #1 pick to pittsburgh tells me that people think next year's draft will be better and there arent too many difference makers in the mid first.

now, they are almost always one or two guys who hit outside the top ten, but maybe next year is seen as a better draft.

There's a small chance they want next year's pick for offer sheet purposes too, there are a lot of juicy RFAs out there in 2026
