Nikolai Olegowitsch Scherdew ( Russian: Николай Олегович Жердев ; born November 5, 1984 in Kiev , Ukrainian SSR ) is a Russian ice hockey player who was last under contract with Dinamo Riga in the Continental Hockey League .

Career

Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Sherdev began playing ice hockey at the age of four in the HK Sokol Kiev ice hockey school . Together with Anton Babtschuk , he moved to the Russian Elektrostal in 1999 - at the age of 14 - and joined the local ice hockey club Elemasch Elektrostal . In order to play in Russia, he had to take Russian citizenship. At Elemasch he played in the 1999/00 season initially in the second team in the third highest Russian division . Despite his young age of 15, he knew how to convince with 17 scorer points from 21 matches. In the following two years he was therefore in the first team that took part in the game operation of the Wysschaja Liga , used. After he had played only 18 games in the 2000/01 season and had played large parts of the season with a Russian junior team, he was regularly used in the 2001/02 season in the Wysschaja Liga. In 53 games he reached 28 points, which also made the teams from the super league aware of him.

CSKA Moscow and move to the NHL (2002-2004)

For the 2002/03 season, Scherdew therefore moved to the super league for the HK CSKA Moscow Army Club , which was trained by Viktor Tikhonov again during the time the Ukrainian was born. After Scherdew had finished the preseason as the best scorer of his team and thus had proven his great offensive potential, he also convinced in his first super league season with 24 points in 44 matches. After he was considered one of the most sought-after talents in the run-up to the 2003 NHL Entry Draft , the Columbus Blue Jackets finally selected him as the first European in fourth overall position. The then General Manager Doug MacLean had already announced this choice before the draft and got Scherdew just two months after the draft, on August 15, 2003, to sign a three-year contract for the National Hockey League . In addition, the Jackets paid the international hockey federation IIHF as transfer compensation set 100,000 US dollars to the Russian army club, since Scherdew still had a valid contract there. However, the striker initially stayed with CSKA Moscow, who combined staying with the team with his military service, after which the Blue Jackets switched on the IIHF and NHL in September. Despite the dispute, he then played 20 games for Moscow at the beginning of the 2003/04 season, in which he only managed four points. The achievements of Scherdev led to the fact that he fell out in the already tense situation with the coaching staff of CSKA to Viktor Tichonow and his son and flew to North America on November 30 with a ticket deposited by the Blue Jackets without the permission of his club. Two days later he made his NHL debut against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim . In the following two months, in which Scherdew remained in Columbus, CSKA continued to insist on the return of his player to Russia, before the IIHF decided in February 2004 the initiated proceedings in favor of the Blue Jackets. Scherdew finally ended the season with the Blue Jackets, which had been  successful with 34 points in 57 games - including a four-point game against the Vancouver Canucks . In addition, he had received an invitation to the NHL YoungStars Game as part of the All-Star Game during the season .

Lockout and return to the NHL (2004–2009)

Due to the lockout of the 2004/05 NHL season , and to appease those responsible for the Army Club, Sherdev returned to HK CSKA Moscow in the summer of 2004. He completed the entire season with his old club and with 40 points in 51 games he knew how to build on the performances from his first season with ZSKA. In autumn 2005, the winger was back in the NHL for the Columbus Blue Jackets on the ice. In 73 games he scored 27 goals and the same number of assists, setting new career highs in all offensive categories. The season was only clouded by the interim placement with the Syracuse Crunch , the farm team of the Blue Jackets in the American Hockey League , in December 2005, when Scherdew had only four goals and seven assists after 26 games . After two games in the AHL, however, he was back in the NHL squad. After his three-year contract had expired at the end of the 2005/06 season , Scherdew, who was considered a restricted free agent , was initially unable to agree on a new contract with Columbus. As a result, in mid-July 2006, he initially signed a contract with Chimik Moskowskaja Oblast from the Russian Super League, which would lapse if the Blue Jackets had also brought him to sign the contract by October 5th. After long negotiations, the Russian agreed on September 28th on a three-year contract with Columbus endowed with a total salary of 7.5 million US dollars, whereby the contract with Chimik automatically ended.

Despite the demands met on the part of the management of the Blue Jackets, the following season was not successful for Scherdew, as he was difficult to integrate. After he had booked six points in eight games for Chimik and thus missed the pre-season training camp of the Blue Jackets, he completed his weakest NHL season with only ten goals and only 32 points scorer. At the beginning of the 2007/08 game year , the coaching staff around Ken Hitchcock therefore considered using Scherdew on the position of the center . He then repaid his constant trust in him over the course of the season with 61 points scorer in 82 games. Despite his best season in the NHL, Columbus transferred him with Dan Fritsche to the New York Rangers at the beginning of his last year of contract on July 2, 2008 , who in return gave up defenders Christian Bäckman and Fyodor Tjutin to Columbus. The native Ukrainian found his way around New York straight away. At the end of the season, his yield was only three points worse than last year.

Switch between KHL and NHL (since 2009)

During the summer break there were negotiations between him and the Rangers management about whether the Sherdev contract had expired. Since the salary expectations of the two parties tended to differ widely, the Russian considered going to the arbitration tribunal . There he was awarded a $ 3.9 million one-year contract after the hearing on July 31, 2009. Scherdew himself had asked for $ 4.75 million, while the Rangers had only bid 3.2 million. However, four days after the verdict, they said they would refrain from any further obligation, and Sherdev became a free agent. He then returned to Russia, where he signed a contract with Atlant Mytishchi from the Continental Hockey League in mid-September . A few weeks earlier, there had been speculations about a move to Salawat Julajew Ufa .

After a year in the KHL, Scherdew returned to the NHL in early July 2010 when he signed a one-year deal worth $ 2 million with the Philadelphia Flyers . With the Flyers he scored the 100th NHL goal of his career, but otherwise attracted attention due to an inconsistent style of play and disputes with head coach Peter Laviolette . During the season he was put on the waiver list but not taken over by any other team. In August 2011, Sherdev returned to Atlant Mytishchi.

In January 2013, Scherdew moved within the KHL to Ak Bars Kazan after Atlant had no chance of reaching the play-offs. In return, Atlant took over the contract from Alexander Osipov . He started the 2013-14 season at HK Spartak Moscow , but was released from his contract in November 2013. He then played for Severstal Tscherepowez until February 2014 , before he was released again.

From July 2014, Scherdew was under contract with HK Dynamo Moscow and completed 49 KHL games for the club by the end of the season before moving to HK Sochi in June 2015 . There he was under contract until November 2015 and was used 26 times in the KHL.

From August 2017, Scherdew was under contract with Neftechimik Nizhnekamsk , but was dismissed after only two games and signed a few days later by Dinamo Riga . There he was initially under contract until November of the same year, then left the club and returned to the squad a few days later. In January he was released again from Riga.

International

Sherdev, who has both Russian and Ukrainian citizenship, represented the Russian national team at the U18 Junior World Cup in 2002 in Slovakia and the U20 Junior World Cup in 2003 in Canada . With the U18 juniors he won the silver medal in 2002, to which he made a significant contribution with eleven points from eight games. A year later they won the gold medal at the U20 World Cup after a 3-2 final victory over hosts Canada. With an assist from six games, Scherdew filled a subordinate role in the team.

The native Ukrainian was also scheduled to take part in the 2004 U20 Junior World Championship and even to be the team captain . After moving to the NHL, however, he was removed from the provisional squad.

In the senior sector, Scherdew was first scheduled for the squad at the 2008 World Cup , but had to cancel his participation due to an injury. In 2009 , the native Ukrainian was nominated after the elimination of the New York Rangers from the playoffs. He was used in three games and in the end celebrated winning the gold medal with the team.
