Michael Grabner-Dasher

Some of these just write themselves. Grabner is fast, one of the fastest players in the game in fact. From the time he won the fastest skater competition in 2011, Grabner has wowed fans with his wheels. For the Rangers, Grabner has used that speed to put up 17 goals this season, which leads the team.

Along with the obvious speed factor, Dasher is always mentioned first. The same can be said for Grabner. If you’re talking leading the Rangers in goals or leading the league in third period goals, Grabner will be at the forefront of the conversation. He certainly isn’t the most talked about Ranger and has only been with the team for a few years, but his speed game has quickly cemented Grabner as one of the more mentioned Rangers in his tenure.
