Rumor: Alexander Ovechkin to sign with Dynamo Moscow (KHL) for 2026-2027

He will go back and play until he's 55 like Jagr.

He will be a draw for what ever team he plays for in the KHL and rightfully so.

Reduced schedule, an absolute legend so he's not going to take too many hits.

If he breaks the record this season, he'll go back to Russia next season. Imagine if he was just one short, haha.

Folks, Let's leave out the politics. Thank you.

Hopefully he sticks it out until the end of next season, but I could see this being it. Same for Malkin, wouldn't surprise me if he's done after this season

 

[DesertPenguin]

Does Malkin join him?

Malkin wants to play for Magnitogorsk when he retires, whenever that might be. He's said he's interested in extending a year after this one depending on his health and the state of the team. Well see.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Not surprised. He's only here to break Gretzky's record then he will fade off into the sunset and never be heard from again.

Ah yes, the old "doesn't care about winning" nonsense.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I mean, at this point he gave it all to Washington and will be the proud owner of one of the most coveted ice hockey records ever

The man has 10000% earned the right to end his career in whatever way he wants

Didn’t Malkin just say he’s not interested in that anymore outside of maybe a game or so?

Correct.
