Alexander Semin had always been an enigma in the NHL. Living in Northern Virginia, there was never a shortage of Semin talk among the Caps fans I saw regularly. He always showed flashes of brilliance in the offensive zone and had lightning quick hands.
Semin scored more than 40 points in each of the six seasons he played with the Washington Capitals before signing with the Hurricanes in 2013. In these seasons he scored more than 20 goals in all of them, reaching a high of 40 in 2009-2010.
