"Ovechkin has kept his cards very close to the vest, and not many know his intentions right now. What I've heard is that he's never been interested in a farewell tour like Anze Kopitar has been having with Los Angeles this season."
"I didn't want to do a (retirement) tour. I didn't want to go from city to city with people knowing I was going to retire, so we kept it really quiet."
Alex Ovechkin is in the final month of his contract and has stated he will determine his future after the season. Reports suggest he may not want a farewell tour like Anze Kopitar. Instead, he might announce his retirement quietly, similar to Wayne Gretzky's approach. Gretzky avoided speculation during his final season and announced his retirement shortly before his last game, which was met with fanfare. Ovechkin's intentions remain unclear as he keeps his plans private.
