On every NHL roster it is important to have versatile players. Having players that can do multiple things allows a coach to be able to manipulate a lineup. There is not a player on the Rangers that epitomizes versatility like Jesper Fast.

Editor’s note: For those over 40 (like me) Stan is reference to an obsessive fan in an Eminem song.
