That's not true, Ovechkin doesn't have a house in Florida... Where's your source he doesn't want to play for Q? And where's your source saying he wants to play for a hockey town? Also Florida is a pretty attractive team if you think about it. Barkov is a studly center to play with, they have some nice pieces in Huberdeau, Trocheck, Ekblad, Dadonov, and a bunch of good prospects. Weather is always nice there, plus Miami is a big city with tons to do.
I actually saw Ovi couple of times this summer here in Miami. So I don't know if your statement is accurate, he might have a house, or he might have been visiting other current NHLers or former NHLers like Malakhov etc....dont know, I didn't ask him, didn't want to be creepy
I've heard some interviews he gave in russian language, which I'm fluent in. He wants to be recognized and loved, similar to what he had in Chicago and money is not his #1 goal. We will see, but I think he could be coming back to Chi for a reasonable price. like 8-9M
I'm not saying FL is bad team, just not for his ambitions. Hope I'm wrong, cause I woldn't mind him playing here.
