Hockeyguru 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 Ok I understand people still being bitter about fedorov leaving detroit. But my question is, why are people using term "WASHED UP" or HAS-BIN. Players like Lindros, Yashin, Curtis Joseph, Leclair, Nolan. Those guys are Washed up. Lindros because of injuries(Considering early in his career he was labled the next big thing.) I know the last few years fed's production has dropped greatly but here are a few reasons, 2005-06 season-Injuries- He was injured(only 62 games played) 06-07 season- he played half of the season on the blueline. IMO he is still one of the best two players in the game. And for people to say you couldn't compare him to abel or lindsey is very laughable. The year he went to anaheim, he notched 30+ goals that year. So he had a couple of off years. It happens. He is only HUMAN!!!!!! He is one of the few players in the league(Crosby, sakic, Forsberg...........) that can take a game over by HIMSELF. If he is so "WASHED UP", Why is it everytime we play against the jackets,(or any other team plays them) the top defense pairing always trys to contain him?..... Because he is still one of the most dangerous players in the leauge. He'd be the last person I would want rushing in on a break-away towards dom. And still has one of the most lethal slapshot in the league? Now I am not trying to piss people off but I just don't understand how people are labeling him Washed up. No he is not the same player he used to be, but is still an elite forward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrie 900 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 If 38 years old, being moved to the Blue Line from Center, on one of the worst teams in the League, doesn't mean a player is washed up, I don't know what is. We already signed Drake, there's no way we're getting another 38 year old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted July 31, 2007 And when did I say he was? I was just saying I didn't see why people are labeling him Washed up You probably could've put this in one of the other active Feds threads. Just my opinion. I don't think he's washed up. I think he's a borderline 2nd line player. When he was healthy he had Zherdev and Nash and they couldn't do anything together. Of course excuses will be made about chemistry. But excuses are just those, excuses, such as he was injured, he played on a bad team. As for the injury excuse, why is we rag on every injured player like Forskin but when it comes to Feds his injuries are a cop out for his sad production? He's nearing 38, he's had some injuries, he's not getting any younger. My point here is that the injury excuse is bogus in my mind. If we're holding injuries against a player as a reason not to acquire him then they shouldn't be used as an excuse for Fedorov. He can still do alot of good things but I watched most of his games last year and simply wasn't too impressed with him. He's nothing like he was and the only Fedorov I want back is the one that was like the 2002 version and he's never coming back so let's move on. he's not washed up though, far from it.

Mudvayneowns91 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) I sold my Fedorov jersey after he left to some weirdo Edmonton fan. I hate all California teams so there's no way I was going to be a Ducks fan.. But we got the better deal of it cause although I wouldn't say he's washed up, he isn't near the player he was.

We already signed Drake, there's no way we're getting another 38 year old. The Feds threads crop up every so often, but I pretty much ignore them since: 1) it doesn't matter, our opinions are moot, and 2) it's such a pointless topic. Either he will or he won't be a deadline acquisition and I don't care too much about it until people (other than Eklund) start talking about it. (and yeah, this isn't about getting him, I'm just saying how ridiculous it is) But if I'm reading you right, are you saying that he's washed up because he was moved to D? I gotta say, that's not a good argument for labeling him a has-been. Edited July 31, 2007 by Flip-check Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
