Translated from a Russian newspaper (where's MM213 when we need him?)
I got a chuckle out of the last line (bolded below)
Russian newspaper yesterday had a article about Zherdev wanting to sign in Winnipeg. They say if that doesn't happen he might just play in the KHL:
The negotiations are on, but Zherdev says he's not aware of all the details.
"I don’t know all the details of the situation. The agent does."
"But I can say that I’m seriously considering all offers from both NHL and KHL."
Right now it sounds like the Winnipeg Jets and Atlant of the KHL are the two most likely options for Zherdev. Some free agents are said to be avoiding Winnipeg because of the cold weather there in the winter. Zherdev says it wouldn’t be a problem for him.
"The weather is not a priority to me. The most important thing is to get a good role on the team, a good coach and a good contract. Everything related to climate and geography doesn’t basically mean anything."
"I met with Vityaz GM Alexei Zhamnov a little while ago, he played three years in Winnipeg. He said it’s very cold and a lot of snow there in the winter, which just makes it an ideal place for hockey. Great!"
"Manitoba doesn’t scare me. I wasn’t born in Africa afterall."
