A nostalgic look back at our favorite hockey heroes and legends who wore the red, white and blue for the Rangers during the 1960's,70's and 80's.

In Episode number 17 we look back at the Rangers 2018 Draft and free Agent activity.

* The most critical Rangers draft in recent memory.

* Vitali Kravtsov- W-First selection- Has another year in the KHL- compared with Kuznetsov. What about Wahlstrom?

* K'Andre Miller- D- First Round selection- Raw and new to the Defense position. Big, Strong and athletic- Too much of a reach for the first round? What about Hobson or Wilde?

*Nils Lundkvist- D- First round selection- Small but smart and mature player. A real leader but with limited upside? Another first-round reach?

* Olaf Lindblom- G- Second round selection- the First goalie taken in the draft- A monumental mistake? Not even ranked as one of the top 3 goaltenders.

* The rest of the picks are not believed to be difference makers. Are the experts right?

* The Rangers 2018 draft was set up to potentially put the team on a Stanley Cup trajectory for years to come. Did Clarke and Gorton deliver?
