In Red Wings Land

Heard today that Yzerman might bring Sergei Fedorov into the organization. Fedorov currently doesn’t have a “solid” job in hockey and he and Yzerman remain close.

If true, Fedorov should demand a hefty salary, great benefits and of course his number hanging from the rafters.

Oh, really?

I haven’t seen or read about Sergei Fedorov returning to the Red Wings from any other sources, so I take this with a grain of salt. However, I’d be all for the addition. I’m a huge Fedorov fan and would love to see him back with the organization.

Also... retire #91.

It’s entirely possible that every lower seed except the Islanders loses in the first round.
