Listen "Ovechkin's future according to Nastya | Miroshnichenko Breakout & RFA Outlook"
Episode Synopsis
Alex Ovechkin's wife, Nastya, may have just confirmed what Capitals fans have speculated for years—Ovechkin could be playing his final NHL season in 2025-26 before returning to Russia. In an exclusive interview, she revealed the family plans to move back to Moscow following the last year of Ovi’s contract, aligning with his long-rumored desire to finish his career with Dynamo Moscow. While the Capitals' front office has denied any official decision, this revelation adds fuel to the idea that next season could become an emotional farewell tour for one of the game’s all-time greats.Meanwhile, the future is taking shape with standout prospect Ivan Miroshnichenko making major strides in Hershey and during his NHL stints. The Capitals are also focused on locking up key restricted free agents Connor McMichael and Martin Fehérváry, both of whom had breakout seasons and are eligible for extensions on July 1. With a rising salary cap and the risk of offer sheets looming, General Manager Chris Patrick is looking to be proactive in solidifying the team’s young core as the franchise braces for its post-Ovechkin era.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.
