Zherdev Going to Atlanta?

CHAMPIONAT.RU reports that Nikolai Zherdev may be close to a deal with the Atlanta Thrashers...

"Negotiations are underway with several teams, but while I'm in limbo - the contract is signed. I hope in the next two or three days all will be determined. The most serious dialogue is precisely the" Thrashers ". However, there are other options. But personally I would like to get into the "Atlanta", which serve several good Russian players. With them, it would be easier and more enjoyable to play. " - Zherdev said in an interview with Sport-Express.

Lyle Richardson at Spector's Hockey says Zherdev would have to accept a one-year contract worth probably around $1.5 million if he wants to play with the Thrashers.

...the guy rejects the Rangers one-year $3.25 million offer and may now have to accept a one-year $1.5 million contract to play for Atlanta? Zherdev needs to fire his agent immediately.
