The most dominant New York Ranger, season by season
I decided to take a look at who the most dominant player for the New York Rangers was by season. Each season's highest PPG total is shown at an 82 game pace. Here are the results.
Obviously this doesn't take most defenseman and goalies into account. Not sure how to account for that properly.
