huge leadership gap in Washington now in terms of veterans, maybe Fedorov figured Ovie was ready to fly on his own.

I think he's more than ready. And if he's dating Sharapova that's a big step away from supermodels or nameless ice bunnies. Not saying he's settling down to raise a family or anything, but Sharapova is an equal in terms of professional standing. In fact, she *has* won the biggest title in tennis, while he hasn't yet.

Will they finally give him the 'C' though? It's more than about time.

Yeah, this sounds like a logical move for him. Ovie is doing fine and Fedorov probably wants to return home. Awesome career he's had so far, the NHL will miss him if he does go to the KHL.

This deal is done I believe...I posted that news on the Caps thread.

From Tarik Al-Bashir at the Washington Post:

Fedorov Deal Is Done (Updated)


I was just putting the finishing touches on my story for tomorrow's paper when I got a phone call from a team official, who informed me that the Caps were just told that the Sergei-Fedorov-to-Russia deal is only "90-percent done."
Not sure what exactly that means for Fedorov or the Caps. But things are certainly getting interesting on the eve of the NHL entry draft.
Update: A team spokesman just confirmed, after receiving a text message from Fedorov, that the veteran center is indeed going to Russia -- it's a done deal.

we may see a few more jump ship to the KHL, already heard Ramo is heading there too, not that it is a big deal or not, any word on Jagr coming back? I heard rumblings of that a couple of times.

Yeah, deal done...

This was yesterday's news though...

I had a Federov poster on my wall growing up. A huge inspiration to me, it really sucks to see him leave.

Growing up? You think you're grown up at 16?

You should have had a poster of Kournikova instead.

Thsi was announced right at the end of the playoffs that Federov and Koslov are gone. That's why there is big time talk that they will sign Kovolev.

M-1 is refuting all the rumours...
