Rangers select defenseman EJ Emery in first round of 2024 NHL Draft
NY Post
LAS VEGAS — The Rangers added some much-needed size to their defensive pipeline.
With the 30th pick in the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft at The Sphere on Friday night, the Blueshirts selected EJ Emery out of the U.S. National Development Team Program.
Emery, who is committed to play at the University of North Dakota next season, stands at 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds.
Known as a defensive-minded defenseman who is a strong skater, the 18-year-old said he models his game after Rangers blueliner K’Andre Miller.
“So, you know, I’m not complaining about wearing this jersey right now,” Emery said with an outstretched smile. “I haven’t met him yet, but hopefully soon.”
After totaling 28 points in 121 games for the NTDP over the past two seasons, Emery is now headed for the NCAA to be a Fighting Hawk and play for Brad Berry.
