Currently chasing down Wayne Gretzky for the all-time lead in NHL goals scored, Alex Ovechkin has almost nothing to prove at the NHL level. Under contract for a few more seasons, the 2004 first overall pick has recently confirmed that he does not want to retire a Washington Capital but rather a member of Dynamo Moskva of the KHL.
Ovechkin, a native of Moskva, played with Dynamo Moskva before being drafted into the NHL and during the 2012-13 lockout captained their KHL team.
Fortunately for Capitals fans, the 38-year-old winger will stay in Washington for a little bit longer and once he has decided he has had enough with the NHL will return home to represent his hometown club.
