I believe Federov left Detroit because he could not handle being second to Stevie Y. Yea, maybe they got along, but Federov couldn't stand it and his ego took him to Anaheim.

Honestly, I don't think Fedorov's leaving had anything to do with Yzerman. He wasn't going to be playing behind Yzerman anymore. He would've had to play behind Zetterberg and Datsyuk. He didn't want to do that. He also may have wanted a leadership role and the Wings didn't want to give him one. I also think he wanted to be paid more than Lidstrom.

Federov wanted to be the man in Detroit. I dont think it was a big personal thing but as long as stevie y was a Redwing it dident matter what he did personaly he was going to be #2.
