The
Rangers again went with The Home Depot endorsement
this season, after not achieving it last season. To
be rewarded with the $1.25M prize for this
endorsement, the Rangers will need a player to reach
40 or more assists this season. Currently, Nicklas
Lidstrom is the best candidate to hit this mark for
the Rangers. He is averaging 0.5 assists per game
through 18 games this season. That puts him right on
a 40-assist pace, if he is able to play every game,
which is not likely. Bobby Smith is 2nd
in assists with 8, but chances are he will be traded
if a team comes calling for his services. It seems,
unless someone steps up, that this goal rests solely
on the young shoulders of superstar Nicklas Lidstrom.
