From SNYRangersBlog.com via ESPN.com:
ESPN.com is reporting that the agent for Nik Antropov has said that his client will become a free agent because the Rangers have no room to sign him.
ESPN is also reporting that Antro’s agent asked the Rangers for a contract in the neighborhood of five years and $5.25 million per season.
It was nice knowing you Antro. The deal Antro is looking for has such an NBA feel to it. A talented but enigmatic player who can put it together from time to time gets a big deal. Only problem is that by December you are looking at every which way to get rid of him. Also known as a Wade Redden contract.

The most shocking part is that Slather didn’t decide to overpay him for five years.
I agree with that analysis. An enigma who can put it together from time to time, but a guy you like to have on your team nonetheless. I would think $3.5-4 mill for 6 years would be more reasonable.
