**Fixed Original Typo Bc I was on the Phone. My bad.*
**Reasons Why Not:**
– Carolina offer sheeted him in ’98 causing the organization to pay him 28 mil to match offer for 1 year.
– Rejects Red Wings Offers in 2003 to join Ducks that bounced us in playoffs.
– 91 not hanging in the rafters, despite no player allowed to wear the jersey. Bad blood still prescient.

I think the chances of this happening are less than 5%.

If the Illitches won’t even retire his number, how are they going to hire him as a coach?
BashfulWalrus7
Maybe as a scout or trainer but his relationship with ownership isn’t great historically.
Calling__Elvis
He looks older than I thought he would. Maybe it’s just the picture and light…
Anyways….Since he has hair we will not be hiring him.

BYLAT!

He aged like ass
I know, that’s mean. But….

As long as he brings the white Nike skates to run practice in.

Anyone follow the KHL enough to give some context to his coaching numbers/performance? His record is good but my understanding is CSKA is perennially one of the league’s best teams
Frosty_Fun_6478
Put him as a third with Kane and DeBrincat
Katieo1022
Maybe an assistant coach? That’d be amazing

I’d be down for it. Though, Fedorov is my all time favorite Wing, so I may be biased. Not sure how well his KHL coaching experience would translate to the NHL though.

Extremely extremely doubtful

He looks like Liam Neeson

Our new 2C?

I’d take Gallant or the Professor first.

He missed 8 games earlier this season due to illness. I wonder if that has anything to do with it (and his « not aging well » mentioned in other comments here. I hope he’s ok.

I’d say do it.
Newsy seems like a good guy, but his coaching style isn’t working. He can’t adapt, and he doesn’t seem to be able to inspire the team to overcome adversity.

Might be a possibility if there was not a proxy war in Ukraine. I feel like the franchise needs a fresh face.

Jesus. Is that a bad pic or does Fedorov look 80?

This will never happen. And if it does, I never said the that.

It was a dream hire when Blashill left, but now that Lalonde is here, it ain’t happening.

Not yet. He’s only 54. Wait just a bit.
