Mighty Ducks and Columbus Blue Jackets

For the 1996-1997 season, Fedorov was a member of the first Red Wings Stanley Cup championship team since 1955 and led the Finals in goals and points. During the season, Sergei also achieved the uncommon feat of scoring five goals in a single game. The following years were among the biggest for Fedorov. As part of the "Russian Five" – a nickname given to five Red Wings players hailing from the Soviet Union – he and the team finally won the Stanley Cup, in both 1997 and 1998. In the latter year, Sergei was paid $28 million by Detroit to keep him on the team, the biggest single-season amount ever given to an NHL player. Fedorov and the Red Wings won their third Stanley Cup in the 2001-2002 season.

Following Detroit's loss to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the first round of the 2003 playoffs, Fedorov signed as a free agent with the latter team. He remained with the Ducks until 2005. During his tenure with the team, he made his 1,000thNHL point, making him the first Russian-born player to accomplish that feat.

Sergei Fedorov was born Sergei Fyodorov on December 13, 1969, in Pskov, Soviet Union. He is the son of Natalia and Viktor. By the age of 16, he was already playing hockey for the CSKA Moscow club. In 1989, he was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings; the following year, he decided to defect to the US. After participating in the 1990 Goodwill Games in Portland, Oregon, Fedorov left with Red Wings vice president Jim Lites in the private jet of Red Wings ownerMike Ilitch.

Sergei Fedorov is a Russian professional ice hockey center who has a net worth of $10 million. One of the first players to defect from the Soviet Union to play in the NHL, Sergei Fedorov served 13 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings and later played with the Mighty Ducks, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Washington Capitals. Considered one of the greatest players of all time, Fedorov won three Stanley Cups, two Olympic medals, and the Hart Memorial Trophy.

Early Life and Defection to the NHL

Sergei's net worth should be much, much higher, considering he earned $80 million in salary alone during his career. Unfortunately, he reportedly was swindled out of $40 million by a former business partner of over a decade. In the wake of the financial upheaval, he was forced to sell off many assets and play for two years in the Kontinental Hockey League in Russia at a time when he was planning to retire. Fedorov successfully sued the former partner but has so far reportedly been unable to collect on the judgment. He is currently the general manager of HC CSKA Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

In the next season, Sergei finished second in points with 20 goals and 30 assists across 42 games. Despite the Red Wings losing the Stanley Cup, Fedorov led the playoffs in scoring and led the Finals in goals. Even greater success came in 1996 when Sergei won another Selke Trophy upon scoring 39 goals and 107 points across 78 games.
