Last week General Manager George McPhee confirmed that Sergei Fedorov agreed to a 1-year contract with the Capitals.  There was no official announcement as there was some paperwork left to finalize as well as a signature.
Everything is now official as the Capitals have announced the signing.  Per club policy, terms were not announced, but others have reported the deal as one year, $4 million.  From the press release:
“We are happy to have Sergei back,” said vice president and general manager George McPhee. “What he brings to the club extends beyond the rink. He is a leader and a player that everyone on our team wanted back. We look forward to him helping us compete this upcoming season.”

Now it feels as if, with all but one in place (Shaone! Come back, Shaone!), it’s not too soon to be thinking about a sweeping performance in 09. Ovie said this team likes to ‘work hard, win and have fun.’ Accordingly, this fan will fill seats, cheer and have faith — a pleasure, now that the Maestro (so dubbed by the Peerless), will take up the baton once again.
