As you have heard by now, the Rangers are considering walking away from Nikky Zherdev if he is awarded more than his 3.25 qualifying offer. This is complete and utter insanity. Just re-read this for my thoughts on the situation.
October:12 points
November:11 points
December:11 points
January:7 points

Ranger fans have tunnel vision. Let’s ignore the fact that he was very good for the first 6 months of the season, because he had 1 bad month when, for the first time in his career at ANY level he finally had to worry about playoffs, he collapsed. He’s a 23-24 year old kid for heavens sake, he’s still a baby, and yet he led our team in points, and if not for that 1 terrible month probably puts up about 65-70 points this season.
But no, the stupidity of having 1 bad month defining an entire season continues with the Ranger brass. I wouldn’t be surprised if Zhedev walks and explodes for 70-80 points elsewhere. Not one bit.
