Rangers number one prospect Alexei Chereponov died during a game last night in Russia. He played on the same team as Jaromir Jagr. Chereponov was considered the steal of last year's draft at number 17, and had posted more points in the russian super league than Ovechkin and Malkin.</P>


For Ranger fans, this is the Boston Celtic equivalent of losing Len Bias. </P>
