Miller. Just one year ago, Miller ranked 11th on this exact list after a season with the Vancouver Canucks where he recorded 37 goals, 66 assists, and 103 points. Times have changed for Miller in a lot of ways. After months of outside noise and turmoil regarding a reported feud between Miller and Elias Pettersson, the Canucks traded Miller to the New York Rangers [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers] in January. While Miller had a productive 2024-25 campaign, posting 22 goals, 48 assists, and 70 points, his numbers certainly took a dip. It’s not impossible for Miller to reach the 100-point milestone again. The Rangers traded for him to not only bring an element of toughness, but also to be a vocal point of the team’s offense, so expect Miller to play an even bigger role this upcoming season. Igor Shesterkin Took A Positive Step Last Season, But It Wasn't On The Ice [https://deweb-519a7.b-cdn.net/post-images/ac95cc0b-2d90-44e4-9880-2173ad2e9144.jpeg] Igor Shesterkin Took A Positive Step Last Season, But It Wasn't On The Ice Throughout the entirety of the 2024-25 season, there was a lot of noise surrounding Igor Shesterkin, but he remained quiet. [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers/latest-news/igor-shesterkin-took-a-positive-step-last-season-but-it-wasn-t-on-the-ice] Mika Zibanejad was also not on this list despite being ranked as the 19th-best center last year, while Vincent Trocheck was nowhere to be found on the rankings either.
