Everyone knows that Mika Zibanejad is an extremely talented player, but the biggest question surrounding the 24-year-old center has always been whether he could take the next step?
He’s answered that with a resounding ‘yes’ in the 2017-18 season.
After trading away number one center Derek Stepan before the season, Zibanejad has been everything the Rangers could have asked for. He’s been winning faceoffs, scoring key goals and has been responsible in the defensive zone.
For now, at least, he’s silenced the questions about whether the team had enough talent at center.
