I think that’s fair. If you weren’t around for awhile prior to 1994 then you probably think of him as more of a depth guy.

Had the chance to interview former Ranger Jason Strudwick. Such a nice guy. He tells a Mike Millbury story that just shows what an idiot he is and why the Islanders were so bad under him and a bunch more. Talked about the 2005-06 team which is one of my favorite Rangers teams ever.

A great, underrated player. Good stories. Milbury is the dumbest man in hockey. If he can do it, I know anyone here could do it. Don't let your dreams die. haha

Couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat but a good defender.
Ironically, I also believe it was Strudwick who tied the Malik shootout with the Caps at game point before Malik made it the Malik shootout.
Strudwick's out-of-left-field goal would have been more of a story if Malik didn't then do what he did.

Really interesting interview with Zac Jones. He gives an inside look at the Rangers locker room and talks about the Capitals incident and the JD/Gorton firings along with James Dolan addressing the team. Really nice kid and a fun conversation.

Had former NY Rangers player Dan Fritsche on the show this week and he did not hold back. Really great episode.

Here is an example he straight up called Nikolay Zherdev a waste of talent.
That's baloney that Zherdev took off three out of every four or four out of every five games. I know there are plenty of reasons to not like the guy but that's some serious hyperbole.
I remember being mildly excited when we acquired Dan Fritsche. Then I realized, nah, this guy actually isn't that good.

Zherdev might be one of the few players who almost everyone you talk to doesn't hold back. It can be quite jarring actually.
Daigle. Jim Carey. They definitely don't generate typical responses.

Zherdev in his one season playing for us was a world beater in the first half but then fell off the proverbial cliff in the second half and was awful in the playoffs. He wanted a ton of money then and took us to arbitration and if I remember rightly he won but then Slats walked away from the ruling and Nikolai became a free agent. After that it was all downhill for NZ.
The talent was certainly there. I don’t really dispute Fritsche’s account though I would say Dan himself was a disappointment too and maybe really isn’t one to talk.

Skill vs will.
Fritsche, Howden, both are of the same vein where they give it their all but they just aren't good.
Zherdev was every bit as talented as Malkin, Panarin, etc. His hands were the best since Kovalev. He made a backhand toe drag along the blue line and made guys look silly. But if he didn't have the puck,than skating or checking didn't interest him at all.
A lot can be said about Zherdev and his play elsewhere obviously shows that he wasn't made of the right stuff. I mean he only played 56 games in the NHL after he left us, and he was only 24 y/o.
With that said -- during his very short stint here before Tortorella came on board, he played fantastic hockey. He was like a magnet on the puck and could stickhandle his way out of any situation.

Zherdev was a good defensive player. He's just given the usual lazy Russian archetype because he was skilled.
