Federov Out Possibly 6 Weeks

According to TSN, after running into the boards during last night’s pre-season game against Buffalo, Sergei Federov could be out up to 6 weeks with a possilble separated shoulder.

With this inury to Federov, I can see talks resuming with Zherdev, however, that doesn’t solve the #1 center position, it would possibly just bring back some more scoring. Barring a miraculous change of heart by Zherdev, I think he’ll be traded.
