Fedor Fedorov
After reporting last Friday that Fedor Fedorov was in negotiations with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, but lacking specific information, Sport Express decided to ask Victor Fedorov (father to Sergei and Fedor) what was up with everyone's favorite ex-New York Ranger forward.
Said Victor:
"Though I'm not happy that news of the negotiations leaked to the press, I can say there is, at a minimum, three clubs in the Russian Super League that are interested in Fedor Fedorov. The clubs are all from the Moscow region, and Yaroslavl is one. So far, though, no contract has been signed, and there is nothing concrete. I expect that in several days, we will know more.
"I don't doubt that many fans won't take seriously the possibility of Fedor playing for one of these teams, thinking that he will only sign an insurance contract in order to leverage himself a better deal in the NHL. With all responsibility, I will say that there is no talk of an insurance contract. If Fedor signs a contract with a Super League club, he will definitely stay for the entire season. He is now 25 years old, and it is time at that age to find stability.
"To all of the players who are leaving the Super League in 2006 (Grabovsky, Lisin, Svitov, Khomitsky, and so forth), I wish success to all of them. But if you look at it objectively, almost all of them await teams in the AHL."
