Reds4Life 51 Report post Posted July 6, 2008 He was very good in Washington and he did excellent job for the Russian National Team. If Jeff freakin Finger can get 3.5 then 4 million for Fedorov is very fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted July 6, 2008 Sergei has been living off a huge $6mil contract for years and hasn't earned any of it. He needed the Wings more than the Wings needed him, if you look at his stats since his departure they are pitiful compared to the money he was making. I liked Feds in his hay day just like the rest of you, but always out for the paycheck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shoreline Report post Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) I cant beleive I spelled Fedorov wrong I still to this day can't believe how many fellow Wings fans do either. At any rate, he isn't worth 4 million a year. Him and his agent just want to cash in on this season's money spree. Edited July 6, 2008 by Shoreline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irishtemper14+25 11 Report post Posted July 6, 2008 but he wasnt the one who said it was laughable, he may want 4 mil, but he will settle for around 3.25 this year to stay and play in NA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted July 6, 2008 though it's in quotes in the subject heading of this thread, nowhere in the article does it actually say Fedorov was "humiliated by $2 million offer from the Caps." What it actually says is that Soviet Sports Pavel Lysenkov, who is hoping to lure Fedorov to play in the Continental Hockey league, is the one who thinks that the $2 million offer is humiliating to Feds. Though it does say that Fedorov is apparently seeking twice that amount. As great as he was, Fedorov is not worth $4 million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you read the whole sentence, to me it's fairly clear they're talking about Lysenkov. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Booster313 138 Report post Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) You can't argue a player's relative worth based on another overpaid player. I agree with you but this is the problem in the NHL today..certain GM's are willing to overpay to entice a player to come to their sub-par team. Matts Sudin is a talented forward with gas left in the tank but if he is worth 10million per well then What's Crosby, Ovechkin, Malkin, and Zetterberg, etc worth? I think Fed's fair market value is around 2 million with bonuses because he still has the potential to dominate. Edited July 6, 2008 by Booster313 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted July 6, 2008 For goodness` sake, all of you who refer to yourselves as great Fedorov fans, learn to spell his freakin' name! That said, Fedorov is certainly not worth anywhere in the realm of $4m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) When you are being outplayed nightly by the likes of Gilbert Brule and Mike Peca you don't deserve $4 million a year. Edited July 6, 2008 by BuckeyeWingsfan80 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Feds, but I am definitely not his biggest fan on the forum. Whatever, but I certainly don't want to see him get trashed for something he didn't say. Seems like Lynsenkov is meddling.

zata40 3 Report post Posted July 6, 2008 He can follow Jagr to Russia if he wants more money. You do know that jagr is only getting 5 mil a year in Russia? Some NHL teams (pens) were ready to give up that mush money to get him. But he was more concerned over the length of the contract, than what he was being paid. as for feds, he's worth 3.5-ish. 4 mill is pushing it, but than again someone will probably pay it.

Superman54 91 Report post Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) The only real team I think that might pay him that much might be Vancouver, but even then thats a stretch. If I were him, I'd ask for 3 million from the Caps, so its equal from what they both wanted. Of course we are talking about Fedorov here....
