If you knew only that the Rangers selected Filip Chytil in the first round in 2017 and then K’Andre Miller in the first round the following season, you’d likely be throwing roses at Gord Clark, the director of player personnel who presided over those drafts conducted in Chicago and Dallas, respectively.

You’d have given the organization an A grade for its work.

But, as you do know only oh so well, the Blueshirts had a total of five first-round selections in those back-to-back drafts, an additional three gained through trades of Derek Stepan and Antti Raanta to Arizona; Rick Nash to Boston; and Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller to Tampa Bay.

And you know that in 2017, the Blueshirts selected Lias Andersson seventh overall before nabbing Chytil at No. 21. And in 2018, they selected Vitali Kravtsov ninth overall before grabbing Miller at No. 22 and then Nils Lundkvist at 28th overall.
