The New York Rangers had to wait 43 picks to make their first selection in the 2025 NHL Draft, but snagged what most experts considered one of the best values of the second round. Malcolm Spence, a forward from the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League, was taken by the Blueshirts with pick No. 43 overall on June 28.

With two picks in Round 6, the Rangers took right wing Samuel Jung at 166th overall and defenseman Evan Passmore at No. 171. Defenseman Felix Färhammar capped off the Rangers’ eight selections in this year’s draft at 203rd overall in the seventh round.
