For much of the time since the rebuild became official, there’s been a vocal portion of the Ranger fan base that have wanted the team to move on from Jesper Fast.  Despite being a five time player’s player choice on the team, many Blueshirt faithful have not seen the value of his steady defense, and occasional streaks of timely offense.
