EJ Emery, a 6-foot-3 defenseman, was selected by the New York Rangers as the 30th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. Emery models his game after K'Andre Miller, another Rangers defenseman, emphasizing his defensive abilities. He aims to follow a similar path to Miller, known for his quick transition to the NHL. Emery, committed to the University of North Dakota, is recognized for his strong defensive play and skating skills, though he lacks offensive production. The Rangers see him as a valuable asset for the future, projecting him as a reliable, hard-to-play-against defenseman with potential for NHL success in the coming years.
