News: Goalies Alexei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov leave KHL to continue careers in Philadelphia

[NYR94]

Gritty traded?

He'd have to waive his full NTC

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Is he the one who got conscripted in the Russian military and posted to the ass end of nowhere?

No

 

[hockeykicker]

Did we merge two different goalie threads?

 

[hockeykicker]

No

Yes

That was Ivan Fedotov..he is now coming over to Philly as well. CSKA just terminated his contract an hour ago.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Yes

This is the kolosov thread right?

Ok. Not sure why they were combined. But oh well.

Is there any confirmation Fedotov is coming?

 

[Danko]

Is there any confirmation Fedotov is coming?

News broke as beat reporters were interviewing Briere this morning, he said 'No Comment'. However likely being extra cautious until he's actually landed.

I just picked him up, not risking it. My league is a bunch of goalie savages.

 

[swiftwin]

Did they agree to let Carter Hart play in Russia in exchange or something?

 

[BritainStix]

I doubt the Flyers are eager to get Fedotov...

Awks....

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Flyers saw that Sandstrom start against Florida and decided to bring in everyone lol. Will be interesting to see him start his NHL career.

 

[Limeyjim]

I would like to know why Fedotov was suddenly cut from his team? Has he done poorly? Was there a scandal involved? The Flyers don't need another goaltender with a legal problem hanging over him. Also, if Kosolov and Fedotov are both allowed to come to play in the U.S., who will play in LV, and who will be in the NHL?

According to old Boris Mikhailov (on CSKA's advisory board), Fedotov's 2 year KHL contract had an out-clause after year 1 in the event he wanted to try the NHL.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Fedotov sucks.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Do Flyers will have two Russian goalies?

 

[luiginb]

kolosov is very athletic and has nhl potential. i'd like to see the flyers sign Stolarz this off-season to back-up Ersson

Nope. He's undersized and going by his career KHL numbers his best case scenario is Martin Prusek, and worst case scenario is Pekka Tuokkola. Who? Exactly.

 

[TheKingPin]

Ivan has a presser with Briere today at 10:45 so things are moving quickly. I would guess he will be back up this weekend? Maybe start soon. Ersson has been great but is burned out.

I wonder if they didn't get a backup bc they knew these guys were coming soon.

No they have a Russian and a Belarusian

His team wasn't very good defensively in the regular, he had 0.925 in the playoffs.
