The Russians are fleeing

With the Pat Quinn story set to take center stage in the world of hockey the other important story might quickly be forgotten. TSN reports that both Sergei Fedeorov and Viktor Kozlov will sign contracts with KHL teams. They were (obviously) not the biggest stars for the Capitals, but still managed to provide some scoring, defensive play and veteran presence. It is doubtful that the Capitals would have resigned them both, but it can be assumed that they wanted at least one of them back. This is a slight blow for the Capitals. What's even more interesting is that none of the two veterans wanted to play alongside their country's biggest star (sorry Geno).
