Ottawa Senators, 1993-2001 After remaining in Russia for the 1992-93 season with the Dynamo Moscow, Yashin arrived in Ottawa for the 1993-94 NHL season, the same year as Ottawa's other touted young phenom, Alexandre Daigle. Yashin soon eclipsed Daigle as the team's brightest young star, scoring 79 points in his rookie season and earning a nomination for the Calder Trophy.

Yashin was eventually named team captain, and the pinnacle of his career came in the 1998-99 season when he scored 94 points. Yashin was runner-up for both the Hart Trophy for the NHL's most valuable player and the Richard Trophy for the highest goal scorer. At the conclusion of the season, he was named an NHL Second Team All-Star. Despite Yashin's regular season dominance, the Senators were swept in the first round by the Buffalo Sabres.

Off the ice, however, Yashin's stay in Ottawa was tumultuous. Management initially supported Daigle, who had been picked first in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. While they hesitated in giving Yashin a five year, $4 million contract, they signed Daigle to one of the largest rookie contracts in history and touted him over Yashin for the Calder Trophy at the conclusion of the 1993-94 season.[1] Several nasty contract disputes developed between Yashin and the team, beginning when Yashin refused to play the start of the 1995-96 NHL season unless he was given a contract similar to the Daigle's. The holdout caused some Senators fans to sour on him. Some commentators have justified Yashin's anger at being paid less than Daigle since Daigle never even approached his potential.[2] Yashin's offensive numbers exceeded Daigle's in every season they played together on the Senators.[3][4] The 1993 NHL Entry Draft took place on June 26, 1993 at le Colisee de Quebec in Quebec City, Quebec. ...

Tensions reached a high point after the 1998-99 season when Yashin refused to honor the final year of his contract and demanded a trade, on the advice of his agent Mark Gandler.[5] This was the third time Yashin demanded a new contract during his 5 year deal. The Senators refused to trade Yashin and argued that his refusal to play constituted a breach of his contract. Consequently, Yashin spent the entire 1999-2000 NHL season practicing with a team in Switzerland. An NHL legal panel ruled that Yashin still owed the Senators one more season if he ever returned to the NHL, and Yashin returned to the team for the 2000-01 season. The dispute cost Yashin the team captaincy (Daniel Alfredsson succeeded him) and over $3 million in salary. The 1999-2000 NHL season was the 83rd in its history. ...

In 2000-01 year, despite initially being jeered by the crowd (the press often called him "Alexei Cashin"), Yashin had a solid regular season. The Senators entered the postseason as the second seed in the Eastern Conference and were paired against the seventh-seeded Toronto Maple Leafs. However, the Leafs swept the Senators out of the playoffs. Yashin himself had a poor series, as he was unable to perform offensively while being shadowed by the Leafs' Shayne Corson.

In 1998 Yashin had promised to give a million dollars to the National Arts Centre, the Centre's largest ever donation.[6] When the NAC learned that one of the conditions of this donation was for them to pay Yashin's parents $425,000 in consulting fees for "loosely defined" services, they balked and Yashin cancelled the deal.[7] The failed arrangement served to further damage Yashin's already strained relationship with the public in Ottawa.

New York Islanders, 2001-2007 On draft day, 2001, Yashin was sent to the New York Islanders for defenceman Zdeno Chara, forward Bill Muckalt and the second overall draft selection, which the Senators used to draft highly-touted centerman Jason Spezza.[8] The Islanders signed Yashin to an enormous 10-year, $87.5 million USD contract. Although his contract was reduced 24 percent due to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) signed in 2005, Yashin was widely considered overpaid and virtually untradeable.[9] The 2001 NHL Entry Draft was held in June at the National Car Rental Center in Sunrise, Florida. ...

After joining the Islanders, Yashin's point production declined. While he helped his new team make the playoffs for the first time in eight years in 2001-02, the Islanders were still unable to advance beyond the first round. The Isles bowed out to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a hard-fought seven game series in 2001-02 and then lost in five games to Ottawa in 2002-03 and the eventual champion Tampa Bay Lightning in 2003-04. Yashin's play was generally praised in 2001-02, as he carried the team's offense for stretches during the season. The following years, his mediocre point production led people both inside and outside the Islanders organization to question his effort and salary.

Prior to the 2005-06 season, the Islanders lost several key players to free agency or retirement and significantly retooled their roster. Captain Michael Peca was traded to free up room to sign free agents such as high-scoring wing Miroslav Satan.[10] Yashin succeeded Peca as team captain.[11] Journalists suggested that the team had finally been built around Yashin and would sink or swim with his performance. A common defense of Yashin's decreased offensive output had been the lack of a legitimate first line winger to play with him. Satan and Yashin showed signs of chemistry early in the season, but generally produced disappointing results. When Satan was moved off Yashin's line, his offensive output increased markedly. After the season ended with the Islanders out of the playoffs for the first time since his arrival, Yashin acknowledged that he needed to score more. After the' season ended, there had been speculation that the Islanders would buy out his contract and rebuild in a different image, but the team decided to retain him.

An October 2006 article in Newsday suggested that Yashin must "make a difference" in 2006-07 or he will be bought out at the end of the season.[12] By the 20 game mark, Yashin was earning praise in the local media for the first time in recent memory, and his point totals were among the league leaders.[13] On Saturday, November 25, 2006, Yashin suffered a knee sprain after taking a knee-to-knee hit. He initially returned after a few weeks, but his effectiveness was reduced, and the team revealed that the knee was not 100%. Early in February, Islanders coach Ted Nolan decided to rest Yashin until his knee was completely healthy, which prompted questions about whether team still had faith in Yashin and whether the re-injury was legitimate or a pretext for benching him.[14] Newsday is a daily tabloid-size newspaper that primarily serves Long Island and the New York City borough of Queens, although it is sold throughout the New York City metropolitan area. ...

Yashin finally returned to the line-up on March 8, 2007, and posted 13 points (5 goals, 8 assists) in 16 games helping the Islanders clinch the 8th and final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference. In the first round series against the Buffalo Sabres, Yashin registered no points in five games and at times was demoted to the fourth line by coach Ted Nolan.[15] The Islanders decided to buy out the remainder of Yashin's contract in June 2007, according to a report in Newsday.[16] The contract was bought out for $17.63 million, or two-thirds of the amount left on the contract. It will be paid out over eight years ($2.2 million a year). [17] is the 67th day of the year (68th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
