So is this off recent years or just one season?

20. (S20) D (Seattle Riot) Mikko Koskinen || +26
Grade: 64/80 || Average: 8
Past Seasons: S23-86, S24-46
At number 20 is Riot defenseman Mikko Koskinen, a consistent and integral part of the Riot lineup. Koskinen kept up his stellar play with another 40 point season, blocking 83 shots, and posting 97 hits on the ice, as well as finishing 2nd among Riot skaters in scoring. He saw his goal totals drop but with the season Seattle had, it shouldn't be entirely surprising.
19. (S20) RW (West Kendall Platoon) - Jed Lloren || +43
Grade: 64/80 || Average: 8
Past Seasons: S22-83, S23-68, S24-62
At number 19 is Jed Lloren, who took a massive jump in the rankings after his 16 goal, 45 point season on the struggling Platoon. Lloren was the team leader in points and was a consistent threat on the ice both in production and physical play. Lloren is yet another S20 player who is starting to make waves and show why this draft class is as dominant as it is.
18. (S21) D (Minnesota Chiefs) - Alonzo Garbanzo || +58
Grade: 64/80 || Average: 8
Past Seasons: S23-59, S24-76
At number 18 is defenseman Alonzo Garbanzo, another player taking a massive jump in the rankings. Garbanzo has finally broken out as a top-tier talent on defense, recovering after two seasons below his rookie season's 29 point campaign. This year he was able to break the 30 point plateau and hit the 40 point mark as well, finishing with 5 goals and 42 points, top 5 in assists as well. However as a defensive defenseman he will have to keep the points coming, because hits and shot blocks won't cut it year in and year out.
17. (S20) LW (Los Angeles Panthers) - Yuri Boyka || +38
Grade: 64/80 || Average: 8
Past Seasons: S22-97, S23-64, S24-55
At number 17 is Yuri Boyka, who hit the top-50 in a big way this season after a 47 point year, the best of his career so far. He was an important piece for the Panthers winning the President's trophy and was an integral part of the team as they played through the Cup Finals. Despite losing, Boyka is primed to be a dominant force for the Panthers for a number of years.
16. (S20) C (Los Angeles Panthers) - Nicholas Pedersen || +43
Grade: 65/80 || Average: 8.125
Past Seasons: S23-46, S24-59
At number 16 is center for the Panthers, Nicholas Pedersen. The center had the exact same points as Boyka, but with more goals (18), more hits (155), and a wizard on the dot in comparison. Pedersen would be considered the undisputed best center for the Panthers if not for that pesky player Brian Morley who remains on the team. However Pedersen is okay with that assuming it means more team success on the horizon.
15. (S16) RW (Texas Renegades) - Niklas Stryker || -4
Grade: 67/80 || Average: 8.375
Past Seasons: S20-42, S21-38, S22-57, S23-10, S24-11
Despite a drop in production, Niklas Stryker remains one of the top players on this list, coming in at number 15. While the veteran forward would rather be going up instead of down, he is likely very happy remaining a top-20 player as he goes to a new location in Texas. Stryker scored 20+ goals yet again, and was second on the Chiefs in scoring. He couldn't bring the Chiefs to salvation, but could do so in Texas with a new identity.
14. (S20) C (Hamilton Steelhawks) - Griffin Simons || +23
Grade: 67/80 || Average: 8.375
Past Seasons: S22-66, S23-58, S24-37
At number 14 is Griffin Simons, rising to the top-20 on this list. Simons had his best year as a Steelhawk, scoring 24 goals and 55 points, the only Steelhawk to pass 50 points. Despite limited PK minutes Simons continued to improve defensively despite a more finesse game (only 11 hits on the season). His play at the dot was also very solid, with a 51% clip. Not the best in the league, but still another positive for the young center.
13. (S15) G (Manhattan Rage) - C.J. James || +3
Grade: 68/80 || Average: 8.5
Past Seasons: S20-51, S21-46, S22-49, S23-16, S24-16
Lucky number 13 features Rage goaltender C.J. James, who has improved from S22 and improved to a .914 save percentage on the year. He also again had 20+ wins on the season, with a 2.19 GAA. He was second only to Jackson Weekes in both save percentage and goals against average, as well as shutouts, of which he had 5. C.J. James is clearly a goaltender who remains great despite some of the top-tier talent in goal today.
12. (S18) RW (West Kendall Platoon) - Oliver Pettyfer || +39
Grade: 69/80 || Average: 8.625
Past Seasons: S20-87, S21-41, S22-60, S23-65, S24-51
At number 12 is West Kendall Platoon winger Oliver Pettyfer, rising up in a big way thanks to an incredible 51 point season which was good for second on the Renegades last season. While Pettyfer hasn't been a PK guy the last couple years, Pettyfer has seen his offense rise and he is only just shy of hitting the PPG mark which many players fail to reach even through their entire careers. With him coming back to West Kendall, Pettyfer is hoping he will reach that mark.
11. (S21) RW (Manhattan Rage) - Tommy Creller || +27
Grade: 69/80 || Average: 8.625
Past Seasons: S22-99, S23-40, S24-38
At number 11 is prolific winger Tommy Creller. Creller has been arguably the most consistent and talented S21 player as of today, which shows his constant improvement on his abilities and his role on the Manhattan Rage. There were very few doubters when he was picked #1 overall, and those few doubters are even starting to rethink things with his 18 goal, 47 point season, which was best among all Rage players, even veteran Daniel Merica.

I'm sure you're glad you went to LA, but taking O'Rourke a couple picks over you is without a doubt my biggest regret as GM lol
