Joe Tasca and I have completed the third edition of Off Wing Radio (click to download). This week, we talk about NHLPA strife, Steve Yzerman's broadside at the new NHL rules and the odd lawsuit filed over the contract status of Alex Ovechkin.

UPDATE: I got things backward on this show when it came to Ovechkin's contract situation. Ovechkin did indeed play for Dynamo Moscow in 2004-05, after which he signed a free agent offer sheet with Avangard Omsk. Dynamo claimed that they had the right to match Avangard's offer, and claim they did just that. However, included in the offer sheet from Avangard was an out clause that Ovechkin could exercise if he came to an agreement with an NHL club by July 20, 2005.
Further, Ovechkin claimed at the time that Dynamo actually failed to match Avangard's offer, reneging on some key aspects of the contract.
Confusing? Yes, absolutely. But that's the way things are in Russia these days.
