By that logic the Wings should also retire the numbers of Chelios, Osgood, Maltby, Draper, McCarty, Larionov, Holmstrom, Shanahan, and maybe 50 other former Red Wings

He had a FA contract with Carolina Hurricanes that dictated that if they reach the Stanley Cup Finals, he gets most of his salary in cash.
Wings matched that contract to retain him.
They went to the Finals and won.
Federov complained that his salary was too low (because he already banked most of it) and decided he was not going to contribute any more.
When that contract expired, he was given a very generous offer and accepted less to go to another team.
This pissed off the Illtiches and I do not blame them because their offer was not only fair, but a league leading contract.
His number should be forgotten because he is really the best talent that ever came to the NHL but, did not realize how much of an impact he could have had on the league or game.I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.

Well, I would suggest it was his Agents responsibility to find a better deal, not the Players.
Fact is,his salary after he left was less than he would have made than with the contract extended to him by the Wings.
A big mistake by the Player and the Agent.Last edited by Malto Marko; January 8, 2013, 05:54 PM.I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.
