Lundqvist was quite a catch. Why he was taken in the 7th Round still baffles me.

According to Rangers own scouts, it was because the year the draft occured, Lundqvist's numbers weren't that impressive.
From the tournament where scout Jan Dusek spotted him, he wrote though: "Never before have I seen a goalie this good, at this age, since Dominik Hasek." (or something along those lines). So, the Rangers took a chance in the 7th. A goalie they knew had great talent under the radar, but whose future was uncertain.
