5. Derek Stepan

Say what you want about Derek Stepan, you can’t fault his consistency. Stepan has been one of the best Rangers for going on seven years now. With 50+ points in all but two of his first six seasons, he has become a leader that the Rangers can count on.

While he may not be a superstar like some of the others on this list, Stepan continues to be an integral part of the Rangers organization. The Rangers utilize the 26-year old at even strength, on the penalty kill, and on the powerplay. His ability to excel in all situations is what puts Derek Stepan at number five on the list.
