Confirmed with Link: Ivan Fedotov has arrived in Philadelphia (Goalie, 2015 draft pick); made his NHL debut (Apr. 1)

Obviously if he comes in lights out will be interesting since he wil be an UFA. My only thought here though is Flyers management have tried to get him over here and work with him so maybe some loyalty there.

Let's see how he plays first but with Errson being average at best and Felix about to go back to Sweden since he has struggled on all levels, Fedotov doesnt have much competition. Kolosov obviously but I see him spending a year in the AHL.

Our next Cutter?

First time I've felt any excitement for this team since the Bedard lottery and Michkov pick, how sad is that?

Nice to have a competent GM.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oh, you son of a bitch.

THAT NUMBER IS TAKEN, F***ER!

Fire Briere.

 

[Danko]

big

 

[captainpaxil]

Not only can he talk Russian with big z he can look him in the eyes

 

[Flybynite]

Fedotov beat Kolosov to the US.

Talk about cone of silence.

 

[Jettany]

UFA after season? Or did that slide due to all the issues.

Does not slide

Don't know what has and/or has not been posted anywhere on his jersey number... but from what can determine, there is a little bit of an interesting story hiding beneath his Flyers jersey number; he appears to have been assigned #82... seems he wore #28 in KHL... Giroux wore #28 with Flyers... obviously, the organization would not want to stir up any possible negative vibes among the fanbase, especially with those who are dissatisfied with the treating of Giroux departure... #82 is the reverse of #28... Flyers flipped his KHL number, probably with his approval.

All of the above is pure assumption from a long-time observer of the Flyers 'days of our lives' spin-off soap opera.

So he could legitimately be 1 and done. As in games played.

On the bright side, you can put a new nameplate one of your Bunnaman jerseys!

 

[Embiid]

This is great. Escaping the cycle of eternal punitive action has to be a huge relief

How "negotiations" could have gone...

 

[GKJ]

Correct. He’s on the roster, so not even that.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Correct.

I’m confident that unless he’s an absolute trainwreck on the ice - and/or bad in the room, he’s here for at least 2 more years after this season

Just how eerie is it that now the Bunnyman's name is having a resurrection... as we approach Easter Eve, 2024?

They went through the work, so I have to think there’s at least an understanding. But it should be simple, he signs 2 years, whoever is better between he and Ersson gets a new deal, the other moves on and makes way for Kolosov who they can now have be in the minors for the duration of his ELC.

No way after all this the org doesn't re-sign him. They crave these types of optics. "We stood up to Russia and brought Fedotov over in the end. We offered him a chance at his dreams after his tumultuous time. The Flyers back down to no one. That's the Flyer way."


It makes them look feeble if they let him walk. Clarke would never let that happen.

 

[TCTC]

What a giant lol. Goalies are getting taller and taller these days.

 

[Flybynite]

and win Calder somewhere else next year lol

Looks like a 5'10 guy in front of a kids net

Too old to win Calder

 

[Flybynite]

Ah you're right. This season actually would have been his final eligible season. He was 26 when the nhl season started.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Well this ruins the entire affair.

This is baller-level posting, for all you lurkers out there.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

are they really putting him directly into NHL games ?


if so godam Torts is really desp. to make POs no matter what...

 

[mr4tno]

Whether or not Fedotov pans out, especially with our other younger goalies kicking at his heels, it is really exciting that this has been able to happen.

Credit to the Flyers for staying on this and figuring a way to make this work out. I can not wait to see this guy. It's been a long time coming.

You give too much credit the the band of Keystone cops that manage the Flyers. Russia just became dis-interested in him and stopped "playing"....
