Die Anaheim Mighty Ducks haben einen mehr als gleichwertigen Ersatz für den zu der Colorado Avalanche gewechselten Paul Kariya gefunden.

Sergei Fedorov wird beim Stanley-Cup-Finalisten einen Fünf-Jahres-Vertrag über mehr als 40 Millionen Dollar unterschreiben. Seine ersten 13 Jahre in der NHL hatte der 33-jährige Superstar allesamt bei den Detroit Red Wings verbracht. Ein letztes Angebot der Red Wings über 32 Millionen Dollar und vier Jahre lehnte der Russe ab.

Mit Detroit gewann er 1997, 1998 und 2002 auch den Stanley-Cup. In seiner Karriere erzielte der Center bis jetzt 400 Tore und gab außerdem 554 Assists. Zudem wurde er 1994 zum wertvollsten Spieler der Liga gewählt.

Fedorov leaves Red Wings to sign with Mighty Ducks

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Sergei Fedorov signed a five-year, $40 million contract with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks on Saturday, leaving the Detroit Red Wings after 13 seasons and three NHL titles.

The deal has two years guaranteed, and the final three are at Fedorov's option, Mighty Ducks spokesman Alex Gilchrist said.

The free-agent center had 36 goals and 47 assists for a team-leading 83 points last season with Detroit. Fedorov, 33, won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's MVP in 1994 and twice has been honored as the league's best defensive forward.

On July 2, his agent, Pat Brisson, said Fedorov wouldn't return to Detroit next season.

Asked Saturday about Fedorov, Red Wings spokesman John Hahn said: "That's Anaheim's comment to make not ours."

Fedorov has 400 goals and 554 assists in his NHL career -- all with Detroit. He helped the Red Wings win the Stanley Cup in 1997, 1998 and 2002.

A doormat most of their 10 years of existence, the Ducks reached the Stanley Cup finals this season. That run began with a first-round sweep of the defending champion Red Wings -- just the second playoff series victory in Anaheim franchise history.

The addition of Fedorov will make up for the loss of star center Paul Kariya, who left to sign as a free agent with Colorado after he wasn't offered a qualifying contract.

Anaheim also has signed former Tampa Bay star forward Vinny Prospal, who had 22 goals and 57 assists last season.
