Also I hear ovechkin is off to the khl at the end of the year, good move for everyone i think, big long contract and not really being a huge superstar to justify it.. Ovechkin doesnt seem so happy in the nhl anymore and the crapitals could use the cap space.

The Ruskies don't make players like they used to. Ovechkin is a decent player as was Kovalchuk but they aren't the players Russia USED to produce Federov, Bure, Molgilny, Larionov, Makarov, etc. Those dudes were bad as hell. Pavel Bure was one of my favorite players when I was growing up.
