Being a life-long American citizen, I have no idea on how difficult it is to adjust to a new country. However, some players took to American soil like no other (wuz up, Alexander Ovechkin and Anze Kopitar!), yet we have one Nikolai Zherdev. He is a player of immense potential, yet every so often he plays like a dog. Is he his generation's Alexei Yashin, or does Zherdev need more time to make a sound judgement?

The last part of my detail should read "should make a sound judgement about him (Zherdev)?"

YOu know.................I think Zherdev's antics will make Yashin look like a saint in the long run.
Zherdev was a potential #1 overall pick, but his attitude got the best of him. He and his primary 'star quality' teammate Richard Nash, do not get along. But then, if Doug MacLean is to be believed, Zherdev can't get along with anybody.
There is a lot of hope riding on Zherdev, one can only hope that he gets his act together soon. But so far, it isn't very promising

What was his total for last year, something like 30 or 35 points and a minus 20 for Colombus? If I'm thinking about the right guy. I don't know that I'd write him off, seems to have some potential but looks like he's a bit lazy in his own end. Doesn't seem to have Yashin's scoring touch either but you're thinking in the right direction as far as I can see.
