Totally didn't see that coming.

Just going to preemptively say... let's keep this non-political.

Lower down on the post it states that it might be believed that CSKA initiated this.

What a shame. These kids have nothing to do with anything

If the Russians are going to start pulling this kind of shit, kick all of them out of the NHL. None of this crap where the Commies start to pick and choose who plays in NA again. This isn't 1970.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Russia doesn't go after ethnic Russians for army evasion. Especially not prominent hockey players. The whole purpose here is keeping the athlete in Russia to perform for a Russian team.

I assume this is going to plummet the draft value of Russians going forward.

 

[Flyerfan18]

The first of many I presume.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

So are we heading back to the old days of guys sneaking out of the country and defecting? This will assuredly kill some of the higher profile Russian player's stock in the upcoming draft, no?

 

[DancingPanther]

This isn't 1970.

It isn't?

 

[Tripod]

Wtf???

 

[usahockey22flyers]

I'm very upset

I'm not going to pretend that I know the ins and outs of legitimacy of Russian websites but... here's an article from Sport-Express.

Вратарь сборной России Федотов задержан в Санкт-Петербурге сотрудниками военкомата

По данным «СЭ», голкипер «Филадельфии» и сборной России Иван Федотов задержан в Санкт-Петербурге сотрудниками военкомата.

www.sport-express.ru

According to "SE", the goalkeeper of "Philadelphia" and the Russian national team Ivan Fedotov was detained in St. Petersburg by the military registration and enlistment office.

The reason for the incident is still unknown.




Recall that the 25-year-old Fedotov as part of CSKA won the Gagarin Cup in the spring, after which he signed a contract with the Flyers.

Another bang-up job by the Flyers and Comcast!

Вратарь Иван Федотов вместе с уголовным розыском едет в военкомат

Оперативники уголовного розыска встретили вратаря хоккейного ЦСКА и сборной России Ивана Федотова в Купчино, на выходе из ледовой арены, и предложили ему проехать в военкомат.

Operatives of the criminal investigation department met the goalkeeper of the CSKA hockey team and the Russian national team Ivan Fedotov in Kupchino, at the exit from the ice arena, and invited him to go to the military registration and enlistment office.
Fedotov did not argue.
Recall that groups of operatives of the criminal investigation department, and some together with SOBR officers, took up waiting positions in different parts of St. Petersburg on the morning of July 1, where Ivan Fedotov could appear.
According to our publication, the request to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region came from the military prosecutor's office, where, as we were told, "there are sufficient grounds to consider Fedotov an army evader." That is, he has in the future article 328 of the Criminal Code “Evasion of military or alternative civilian service” (up to two years). As for the initiator - the military prosecutor's office, the logic here is clear - Ivan Fedotov is a member of the HC CSKA, that is, formally a military man.

Well, it does seems like the world is going backward instead of forward on so many levels.

They probably just want a pay-out from the Flyers before letting him go. Scumbags.

How can this be kept "non-political" when the entire issue is political?

The article I posted from that website says that they detained him after leaving the arena.

Who knows if any of this is true or not but...

Quite easily actually.
