Not necessarily.
I'd say he's always been held in check by Putin and what Putin could do.
My brother in law went on a hunting/fishing trip with Barry Trotz a few years ago. Lots of great stories ... But one of them was about the hold that Putin has on Ovechkin and how sad it makes the Caps player. When the Caps got knocked out by the Rangers Ovechkin was with his teammates and they were planning a get together to end the season. Then a call comes in and it's Putin asking for Ovechkin. When he comes back into the room he says good bye and is whisked to JFK to get on a private plane and go to the World Championships.
He was devastated.
