Rangers Qualify Zherdev, Not Sjostrom


According to Blue Notes:
Rangers president and general manager said a few minutes ago that the Rangers have given qualifying offers to some of their restricted free agents, including Nik Zherdev, but not Fredrik Sjostrom.

In his first interview with New York writers since the Rangers exited the playoffs in the first round, Sather also said that the agent for Nik Antropov was overpricing his client.

Looks like for one of the few times Glen Sather agrees with me on something, as I posted last week that I thought that Antropov was asking for way too much money.

Will post more when I find out what other Rangers were given qualifying offers, as of now the Rangers are just reporting that Zherdev was qualified. Does this mean he won't b! e traded to Ottawa now? Or, is it a sign and trade?

Opinions Ranger fans?
