Fantasy Analysis
Fedorov, the 1994 league MVP, was one of three trade deadline acquisitions that helped the Capitals end a five-year playoff drought last season. The 38-year-old center had 13 points in 18 regular-season games with Washington after being dealt by Columbus. Fedorov also had five points in a seven-game first-round playoff series loss to Philadelphia. He did well playing with fellow Russians Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom, and it will be interesting to see how he does with a full season playing alongside the duo. Still, he is no longer the scoring threat he once was and Fedorov is more of a low-end Fantasy option heading into 2008-09. (Updated 07/10/2008).
