from Arthur Staple of Newsday,
Zherdev is older now than Kovalev was then. Wiser, too, one hopes, after four seasons of futility in Columbus. His plus/minus is a league- best +9, which says a little about his attention to detail in his own zone.
There’s another plus: He’s got teammates now who prefer to lead by example. Jaromir Jagr and Brendan Shanahan, who made his departure official Wednesday, were too far beyond their prime to be that kind of leader. Shanahan always knew the right thing to say, and Jagr played class clown well to Shanahan’s class president, but neither had the skills left to be the good example for a player like Zherdev.

Yet why is not a single one named?
I’m sure the author thinks they are obvious, but I totally disagree with him anyway. Jagr didn’t have the skills left to lead by example? Did he not watch last year’s playoffs?
