Team Marleau! Hammered! chooses in the 6th round, 93rd overall, in the CENTER 3 position,
Sergei Fedorov



Quote:
Sergei Viktorovich Fedorov (Russian: Сергей Викторович Фёдоров, Sergey Viktorovich Fyodorov; born December 13, 1969 in Pskov, Soviet Union) is a Russian professional ice hockey forward and occasional defenseman[1] who plays for the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League. He gained fame playing for the Detroit Red Wings before tenures with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and Columbus Blue Jackets. On October 25, 2008, Fedorov set a record for most goals by a Russian-born NHL player, scoring his 475th goal.

In a 2006 interview, former Red Wing head coach Scotty Bowman said, "[Fedorov was] one of my favorite players as a coach because he can do anything [asked of him on ice]." Bowman coached nine of Fedorov's thirteen seasons with Detroit. During the late 1990s, Bowman experimented by using Fedorov on defense and pairing him with Larry Murphy. The Red Wings senior vice-president Jim Devellano said, "I’m convinced if we left him there, he’d have won a Norris Trophy".[2] Although he was effective playing defense, Fedorov stated that he would rather play up front. This did not prevent Blue Jackets head coach Ken Hitchcock from moving Fedorov back to defense on occasion.

Sergei claimed he and tennis star Anna Kournikova were married in 2001, but later divorced in 2003.[7] However, Kournikova's representatives deny any marriage to Fedorov.
Moreover, Kournikova denies being Pavel Bure's "sloppy seconds."
