Ivan Fedotov, very large goalie, has arrived in Philadelphia

[Jee]

The five-hole is the whole net...

 

[Turin]

Why are you polluting each of the Fedotov threads?
You mad he’s left Russia for greener pastures?

Maybe he just thinks he isn't that good

I don't care about Fedotov so I'm not delusional about his form at the moment and I tell the Flyers fans to not be delusional either.

Who is delusional though? Twitter people calling him a saviour? I have yet to see any posts like that here. Most people are just happy he has a chance to be an average goalie that can step in to balance Errson and help with the playoff push. If he improves over the offseason and turns into a #1 then that will just be extra.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Rumors were he wasn’t very happy this season with his KHL club and I would guess everything he has been thru was probably affecting his game most recently. The guy has been thru more in the last few years than most people go thru in their lives.

I'll be happy if he helps the team, it's just the chance for this is pretty slim. Miracles happen sometimes, though, so who knows...

He's a big guy

My dads bigger

Charles Wang's dream.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

He is officially on the NHL roster as of today.

And people wanted to bash on Vasy size……..

 

[GMR]

He defected from the Night’s Watch?

 

[Altimus]

I always hear about how the AHL Is a lot harder for goalies since it lacks defensive structure. Same might be true coming over from the KHL.

My first thought was "is he actually tall, or just an average guy standing next to Danny Briere?"

Charles Wang's dream.

Every Charle's dream wang.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

We need one of these on an upcoming TNT broadcast:

 

[Sam de Mtl]

if he any good?

 

[CupsOverCash]

if he any good?

What I was wondering the whole time

 

[Three On Zero]

We have the biggest, now we need the thickest

 

[GrkFlyersFan]

He can't be any worse than Petersen or Sandstrom, and Ersson is quickly running out of gas.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

So how tall is he?
Elite prospects says he is 202 cm and Wikipedia says he is 198 cm.

KHL site says 200 cm.

 

[Montreal Shadow]

He doesn’t look that big until you realize Brière is standing on stilts and Fedotov is sitting down.

 

[Treb]

perhaps $$ paid above standard transfer fees. Wink.

The KHL doesn't have a player transfer agreement, so as far as I know there is no transfer fee.

Also, pretty sure extra money might be seen as cap circumvention.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

That’s 6 foot 6.75 inches, in American freedoms.

Your definition of a miracle is different than mine.

if he any good?

All we need is average at this point to take a few games from Errson who is burnt out.
