Regarding the Rangers, who will be hoping for a Three Percent Solution to their draft quandary when the lottery is conducted this coming Monday, May 5:
1. Brett Berard took a substantial step last year, graduating to the NHL for 35 games in just his second pro season after taking the leap from Providence College to AHL Hartford the previous year.
Now, the 23-year-old winger has the opportunity to take another step forward after being named to Team USA for the IIHF World Championship that will be contested in Sweden starting May 9. This is a reward earned.
This is ideal for both the Rhode Island native and the Rangers. After recording six goals and four assists in a limited role in which he was a constant source of energy and competitiveness, Berard will surely benefit from the company he keeps and the elevated competition.
