southsider2k5 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 They end up losing Kariya and getting Fed for about the same money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 As much as I hated to see Kariya go, I think they are at least back on their feet with this move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Damn, thats an awesome move by the Ducks. Federov is superior player to Kariya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 And I'm sure the Hawks offered Federov the same or better in terms of contract. Federov just wanted to go to the West Coast. :fyou BlackHawks. Worst sports franchise..... PERIOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Well, he probably feels if Kariya is the only one to go, then the Ducks will still be a good team. Dont know if he could say that about the Hawks, although I think they would of been pretty good if they added Ruutu and Federov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Damn, thats an awesome move by the Ducks. Federov is superior player to Kariya. I don't think so. Kariya has been more productive on a worse team and Fedorov like Zhamnov likes to take nights off for no explicable reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I don't think so. Kariya has been more productive on a worse team and Fedorov like Zhamnov likes to take nights off for no explicable reason. agreed. federov = overrated. kariya was a horse, i don't think federov comes back after a hit like kariya took from scott stevens in the finals. he was the heart and soul of the ducks. i think federov needs good people around him to be good.

SAVVY18 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 It is nice to see Detroit(SUCKS) finally losing a good player. With the aging centers on Detroit(SUCKS), this may be a bigger move than many think. He carried that team when Yzerman went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Federov is one of the best two way players in the game. He really plays a good defensive game, unlike Kariya. Kariya took plenty of nights off this year (not to mention a few in the playoffs) Federov will outscore Kariya, he plays defense, and he's a pretty damn clutch player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
