Rangers Leadership Graded

**Corey** (0:00)
On June 11th, all right, let's talk about the New York Rangers leadership crew and how they stacked up this past season.
Miller was handed the captaincy, the 29th in franchise history. He, along with Vincent Trocheck, wore a letter for the first time with the team. Adam Fox, Mika Zibanejad, and Artemi Panarin were also part of that leadership circle, though Panarin was traded mid-season.
Now, when it comes to grading these guys, we're focusing on the core leadership that stayed put. Vincent Trocheck had his own separate analysis, so we're looking at Miller, Fox, and Zibanejad for this breakdown. It's about seeing how the guys who were expected to lead performed when the pressure was on. Mika Zibanejad really stepped up this year, earning an A-.
He bounced back strong, leading the team in goals with 34, including 16 on the power play and racking up 78 points overall. He was solid on both ends of the ice and a consistent offensive threat, especially during times when the teams struggled to score. Zibanejad also snagged multiple team awards, including MVP and the Players' Player award. He even made history with a five-point performance in an outdoor game. His only real downside was a minus 20 plus minus rating for the season. Adam Fox earned a B plus for his efforts, while JT. Miller received a C minus. It's a look at how the guys wearing the letters performed with some shining brighter than others when the season wrapped up. From your team, powered by AI, this is New York Rangers News Today.
