Ranking the NHL’s top 10 forwards for the 2023-24 season

9. Mikko Rantanen, Colorado Avalanche
The Avalanche entered the Stanley Cup playoffs last year as the defending champions and did that with Rantanen’s contributions. He set career highs in goals (55) and points (105) while playing alongside Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, who will look to lead Colorado back to the playoffs.
