Alexei Kovalev: Retires After 20 Seasons
Kovalev has officially retired, the Miami Herald's George Richards reports.
ANALYSIS
Kovalev had an excellent career, but it's evident that he doesn't have much left in the tank. He only scored five points in 14 games with the Panthers, despite tallying three points in the first game of the season. We wouldn't expect him to factor in to the fantasy game if he attempts a comeback in the future.

How well Kovalev plays in the 2010-11 season rests almost entirely upon the health of his knee, which he injured during the final weeks of the 2009-10 regular season. He completely tore the ACL in his left knee, an injury that normally requires up to six months of rehab. Should he come back from the injury fully healed, Kovalev could hit around 20 goals and 30 assists. He'll be a mainstay on Ottawa's second power play unit while playing on the second line during even-strength situations. There's a strong possibility, though, that he could start the season on injured reserve, as he might need the extra time to fully heal from his ACL injury.
