The New York Rangers entered the 2025 NHL Draft with eight picks, though not one in the first round. For just the second time since 2016, they don’t have a pick until Day 2, after the Rangers sent the No. 12 overall pick this year to the Pittsburgh Penguins to complete the J.T. Miller trade.

With the 52nd pick in the NHL Draft, the Minnesota Wild selected Theodor Hallquisth. The 18-year-old is coming off an impressive year with the Örebro Junior Team in Sweden, where he recorded 22 points in 41 games. He's a versatile player with two-way abilities and, with some more development, could have significant contributions to the Wild.
