According to KHL President Alexander Medvedev, center Sergei Fedorov is set to re-sign with the Washington Capitals. Here's the report from Sovetsky's Pavel Lysenkov, who was at a press event in Moscow earlier today where Medvedev was unveiling the new logo for the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL):

"It is sad that we will not see Sergei Fedorov in the KHL. Most likely, today he will sign a new contract with Washington."

Medvedev, according to Lysenkov, is on the board of SKA St. Petersburg hockey club, which was involved in negotiations with Fedorov.

Well, good news for the Caps. But I see the Russian leagues are still trying to poach NHL players. That's not what the league needs right now.

I am mad about the Russian leagues taking our guys. They need to grow their own dang talent. Taking Jagr. I am not mad about Emery, because he sucks and he is a bad guy on the ice and off the ice. But big money offers wont be made because the NHL talked about it with a Russian league. But still. We don't take big players or even little players from Russian league teams a lot.
