RNYRF's GRADING THE RANGERS 2015-2016
DEREK STEPAN Center

 Stepan was actually a very solid player for the Rangers last season collecting 22 goals and 31 assists, his second highest point production and highest goal scoring in his NHL Career. Stepan logged in an average of 11.5 minutes per game in 72 games with a faceoff percentage of 46.6 (515-589) also a career high. Stepan who was signed to a 6 year contract last July is under wraps for the next 5 seasons with a cap hit of 6.5 million per year. Although the Rangers had a sub par season to say the least, Step was as he has always been, a solid two way player playing both power play and penalty kill minutes, collecting 3 shorthanded and 5 power play goals. A team first player who always gives 100% even through injury.
