At the end of the day, these six selections are just more impressive than what Zibanejad has to offer right now. Besides, it's clear the forward's main focus right now is the Rangers — especially after they traded away longtime teammate and best friend Chris Kreider.
Mika's wife, Irma Zibanejad, recently said that the pair now own new property in New York and recently hosted first-year Rangers' Head Coach Mike Sullivan.
“We just had Mika’s new coach [Mike Sullivan] here at our home; he flew over from New York recently,” she said, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post. “We also just got our new home in New York. I’m always shocked about how newspapers just spread things without considering the source.”
Blueshirts and Zibanejad fans alike should rest easy though. The remainder of the rosters will be announced later this year and it would take Hell freezing over for him — and the Devils' Jesper Bratt — not to be on it.
