Fedorov aims to be back next year

Posted By Diego | NHL News | May 19, 2009, 06:47 AM |

Fedorov becomes an unrestricted free agent in July and may have to take a pay cut from the $4 million he made this season, but he isn't thinking about retirement.

"I cannot imagine myself retired; I don't know why," he said Friday. "I still have some legs left, I still enjoy the game and certainly enjoy this group of young, talented players."

An ankle injury limited Fedorov to 52 regular-season games this year, but he appeared in all 14 playoff games, posting eight points and averaging 16:39 of ice time.

"A hundred percent for sure, we need a guy like Feds," Alex Ovechkin said.
