Who are the best 14 players in the NHL at each position as teams prepare for the start of the 2014-15 season? Arpon Basu, Brian Compton, Corey Masisak and Dan Rosen have cast their votes and the result is NHL.com's "Top 14 for '14-15" project....

14. Kari Lehtonen, Dallas Stars, 12 points2013-14: 33-20-10, 2.41 GAA, .919 save percentage

For a goaltender that has battled injuries throughout his career, leading the League in games and minutes means something. That's what Lehtonen did last season, and if he can do it again, or at least come close, the revamped Stars could make some noise in the Western Conference.

13. Ryan Miller, Vancouver Canucks, 12 points2013-14: 25-30-4, 2.64 GAA, .918 save percentage

Miller was in the midst of the finest season of his career, putting up a .923 save percentage playing behind the NHL's worst team, when disaster struck: He was traded to a contender. Miller's time with the St. Louis Blues took some shine off what looked to be a renaissance season, but the Canucks are hoping they signed the goalie that performed miracles playing behind the porous Buffalo Sabres and not the one that looked mediocre behind one of the best defensive teams in the League.
