Kovy and Ovie are good friends and have played together in Russia for years before coming to the NHL. Semin refuses to learn english and takes nights off some games. He often plays with immaturity and commits stupid penalties at the worst possible times. Semin has all of the potential in the world, but how long do you wait for that "potential" to be realized? Trading Backstrom is not an option. Backstrom is already one of the best players in the game and still has tremendous upside. If Kovy is to come here it would have to be for Semin and a prospect from Hershey. I would not package Fehr with Semin. Fehr is another young player with size and speed that can score. A power play with Ovechkin, Kovalchuk, Backstorm, Green, and Knuble would be unfair to the rest of the league! As a Caps fan, I would like to see it! Semin for Kovy would be fine by me.
