1. J.T. Miller

Miller signed a seven-year, $56 million contract with the Canucks in September of 2022, coming off a season when he had 99 points (32 goals, 67 assists) and 38 power-play points.

His numbers exclusive to the Rangers for the 2024-25 NHL season are as follows: 32 games played, 13 goals, 22 assists for 35 points with an average of 1.09 points per game, which was up from the 0.88 points per game he registered in Vancouver.

Putting him above Quick may be a bit controversial, but Miller certainly turned things around for the Rangers as soon as he was acquired on Jan. 31st.
