Report: Former Red Wing Sergei Fedorov to retire and become GM of Russian club | MLive.com

Former Detroit Red Wings star center Sergei Fedorov will retire as a player and move into management, according to a report in Sovetsky Sport.

Fedorov, 42, reportedly will play one more game for CSKA Moscow next season before officially retiring and focusing on his duties as the general manager of the Kontinental Hockey League club.

Fedorov, however, had an acrimonious split with the Red Wings in 2003. He turned down a five-year, $50 million contract offer delivered personally by owner Mike Ilitch and signed a four-year, $32 million deal with Anaheim.

a shame that he went out on such bad terms with the wings. it would be nice to see him play in the winter classic alumni game next year
