The Rangers on Day 2

For the first time in memory, I slept through the beginning of Day 2.  In fact, I woke up just as the Rangers were picking Sean Day the third.  Sean is a great skating, 6'2" 220 LHS Defenseman out of the OHL. I frantically searched to see if they had done anything else, but they stayed calm and just made their selection.  When they just let their scouts do their thing, which is picking great skaters with hands and upside, the Rangers are in alignment.  When they reach all over the place and give away their scouts' opportunities as the cherries on top of Hail Mary trades, they are not in alignment, they are in depseration and that rarely leads to successful outcomes.

In the Fourth, the Rangers took another LHS, puckmoving Defenseman, Tarmo Reunanen, from Finland.  He was listed very highly, so I assume this one is a ringer.  Btw, neither of the puckmoving D's they've taken scored at the rate McIlrath, the undertaker was scoring when the Rangers took him out of the WHL.

In the Fifth, the Rangers took jumbo power forward Tim Gettinger out of the OHL.  Gettinger is either 6'5" of 6'6" but said to have instincts.  I think he's also tough, and may be a sort of organizational replacement for Iverson, the really tough guy they took a few years ago and decided not to sign.

They have two picks coming up in the Sixth.
