Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 offer him hudler's money. see if he can reach his potential on the wings. not a terrible blue jean jackets team with only rick nash...or an offensively handicapped rangers team (huge bust!) he would fit in the top 6 nicely if he plays hard consistenly, meaning dont take games off.

Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted August 4, 2009 95% of this board thinks Hudler was too lazy and didnt play enough defense and now people want Zherdev... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peleshob 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 Well that's because Hudler was Czech... pff. Signing Zherdev would allow for the following tandems on lines: Datsyuk-Zherdev Zetterberg-Franzen Filppula-Leino Nationality power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Signing Zherdev would allow for the following tandems on lines: Datsyuk-Zherdev Zetterberg-Franzen Filppula-Leino Nationality power. dats and z will be together, and flip will probably be with franzen. so realistically the lines would most likely look as follows: (common knowledge homer can only produce with dats and z... dats - z - homer franzen - flip - zherdev helm - leino - cleary maltby - draper - that other guy though those tandems do look intriguing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hooon 1,089 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 my fingers are crossed. I would love this. The people who question his work ethic forget that he was on the RANGERS, the laziest team out there. pavs teaches him defense... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) (Edit) If we trade Lebda, that gives the Wings about 3.179M to work with to sign two forwards. Zherdev/Prospal for 2M(discount) and a 4th line grinder for league minimum to 1M to put us right up against the cap. Keep Abby in Grand Rapids to develop for another year. Meech plays as a 13th forward/7th defensman. Edited August 4, 2009 by Echolalia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 Apparently he wanted 4-5 mil as a RFA. Now that he's an UFA, he's going back home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evilmrt 636 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 I think this is something worth looking into, but I think Zherdev will probably just go to the KHL as well, since he can get even more money there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 It's been said before and I'm gonna say it again. Offer him the Hudler deal -- 3 million for three to five years. Whatever he wants. If he takes it. Sweet. If not. At least it was tried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedWings Gone Wild 6 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 God it would be a dream come true if we netted a young guy with that kind of talent for a cheap price. Still, any idea what the arbitrator awarded him? Because it doesn't say what kind of number the Rangers walked away from. I imagine that Zherdev wouldn't accept a penny less than what the arbitrator deemed he was worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedWings Gone Wild 6 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 Zherdev was awarded a one-year, $3.9 million contract following his hearing on Friday. He was looking for $4.75 million, while the Rangers were offering less than $3.2 million. That's what tsn said... So I doubt he would sign with us for under 4 mil. I would be willing to make some room for that kind of a salary personally, but I don't see Holland working this one out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, any idea what the arbitrator awarded him? Because it doesn't say what kind of number the Rangers walked away from. I imagine that Zherdev wouldn't accept a penny less than what the arbitrator deemed he was worth. The award was a one year deal worth 3.9 million. He won't be able to sign here for that number, though. Edit: Beat to it. But also, I could only see a scenario where the team tells him we'll have a bit of space next season and he signs on for a low number? I mean, I'd really like this to happen, but I think the likely end of this is that he leaves for the KHL. Edited August 4, 2009 by Peleshob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meech plays as a 13th forward/7th defensman. Are you serious?? 2M for either one?? We would be lucky to get Zherdev for $3 million. All indications are that Lilja will start the season on IR, leaving us with enough to add someone for $0.5 million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted August 4, 2009 He wanted $4.75M and NYR topped out at $3.2M 4.75 mill for the same points as Hudler with 3 minutes more of ice time a game? Sheesh it's amazing how many idiots on this site want this guy, he is obviously a cancer. If he does sign, he would quickly be the most hated player on this site. half of these people who want him on this thread were agaisnt Hudler, yet they want a 4 inch taller version of him for almost twice as much as Hudler would have agreed to? Do the 5 inchs and the ONE EXTRA POINT WITH 3 MORE MINUTES OF ICE TIME A GAME really worth a 2 mill increase of waht Hudler agreed too before arbitration? Honestly Thank god for Ken Holland, because if 90% of this board ever got a gm spot, they would absouloutly obliverate a team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
