The Rangers will have four picks in the coming draft, with one pick each in the second (#59), third (#89), fourth (#119), and fifth (#122) rounds. Here’s a breakdown of how each pick was acquired/moved:
- 1st round (#28): Traded to Tampa Bay as part of deal for Martin St. Louis
- 2nd round (#59): Their own pick
- 3rd round (#89): Their own pick
- 4th round (#119): Their own pick
- 5th round (#122): Acquired from Florida for Casey Wellman in 2012
- 5th round (#149): Traded to San Jose for Ryane Clowe
- 6th round (#167): Acquired from Columbus in Marian Gaborik trade, sent to Minnesota for Justin Falk
- 6th round (#179): Traded to San Jose for Brandon Mashinter
- 7th round (#209): Traded to LA for Dan Carcillo
This will be the second of three straight years the Rangers do not have a first round pick after ten straight seasons picking in the first round. The 2013 pick was sent to Columbus in the Rick Nash trade, and the 2014/2015 picks were sent to Tampa for MSL.
