from Jay Greenberg of the NY Post,
Zherdev’s 16 points in his first 19 games projects to 67 for the season, which, barring a spectacular postseason, probably would make it his only one in a Ranger uniform. His contract is up and so likely would be the organization’s patience if someone this talented remains so invisible on so many nights.
“Alexei Kovalev,” Chris Drury offered as a Zherdev comparison after a game earlier this season. Both high and faint praise considering how unfulfilling became Kovalev’s tours of duty, particularly the second, in New York.

67 points just might lead the Rangers in scoring this year. It’s only 4 less points than last year’s leader, Jagr. It would also be 6 points more than he ever has scored in an NHL season. So I don’t exactly think he’s “trying their patience.”

Does it make sense to write an article bashing Nikolai Zherdev when he leads the New York Rangers in both points and +/-?
