Michael Grabner-

Michael Grabner quickly became a fan favorite among the Rangers faithful. From his first game with the Rangers, it became evident that the 29-year-old Austrian was the player the team had been missing.

In the 2016-17 season, Grabner scored 27 goals and added 13 assists for a solid 40 points. In addition to his outstanding stat sheet, Grabner also made his presence known on the ice with his speed and aggressiveness.

Thankfully for the Rangers management, these key player makes just $1.65 million in the 2017-18 season. In comparison, Carl Hagelin who is a two time Stanley Cup Champion with the Pittsburgh Penguins made $5 million and scored 18 fewer points this past season.

However, next summer, Grabner will become a UFA where there is a great chance that he will sign elsewhere. Hopefully, for Rangers fans, Grabner will find a way to stay in New York long term.
