Prospect Info: Round 7, Pick 188: Ivan Fedotov, G, Reaktor Nizhnekamsk (MHL --> KHL)| 3/29 CSKA contract terminated, may join Flyers soon, new contract 4/23 2x3.25M

[dats81]

File the visa and get him on a plane. We are looking at an NHL ready Veteran goalie who can play.

 

[GKJ]

The KHL contract has been terminated pretty much some minutes ago, as it is not in the contract database anymore (and it was there minutes ago).

 

[Rebels57]

He's had 2 years robbed from his life and a real shot at being a #1 goaltender here. Now he's going to be in direct competition with Kosolov and Ersson.

I expect Fedotov to play for the Flyers before Kolosov, who will probably spend significant time in the AHL.

Ersson - Fedotov is likely the tandem next year. This is wild.

 

[Curufinwe]

Another Hextall pick coming in clutch.

Watch Fedotov steal the show.

Not really. CSKA is probably cleaning house after one of its most disastrous seasons in recent memory.

Sergei Fedorov was let go as coach. Fedotov was painfully average after signing for what was almost certainly a pretty lucrative 2-year deal ($$$). There will probably be others.

Considering what happened in his life, the whole shit that went down in Russia, losing a whole year and so on, the stats really aren't bad at all.

[BritainStix]

Why are you staring at me Kevin?

 

[Curufinwe]

6'6" 192 lbs. tall kid who likely is going to fill out more. Leave him over there for a while & we'll see how things go.

A while ended up being almost nine years.

There's been little bits from reporters stating Kosolov wants the NHL gig and is expecting to get some warm up games in LHV before heading to the team. It doesn't surprise me. The Fedetov news is straight out of left field though.

Which also leads to the fact that this team really doesn't leak a lot of information that they don't want out there anymore.

If he’s good enough, he still will. He’s only 27

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Please do not rush Kolosov into the NHL

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Helllll YEAHHHH

 

[JABEE]

I hope the Flyers can somehow come to an agreement with SKA too

 

[ponder719]

Why are you staring at me Kevin?

He knows what you did last summer...

 

[Beef Invictus]

This is positive.

 

[Danko]

Competition in crease next year for sure

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Russian duo replacing the Swedish duo?

 

[GKJ]

Flyers pissing goalies all of a sudden

 

[Danko]

 

[Curufinwe]

I guess he needs a new contract for next year now. UFA on 7/1.

The NHL still apparently has a suspension on him, so it may not apply. I’m sure there has to be some consideration to that.

 

[Redpath]

If I know anything about the Flyers, Fedotov will probably have a good showing in the regular season/playoffs, decide he doesn't want to be a 1B to a blossoming Ersson, and take a chance elsewhere in UFA.

I hope the NHL can somehow rectify the stolen years he's had while under contract with the Flyers. Not sure what the CBA would allow, though.

 

[captainpaxil]

Is it worth it to play him this year and burn his contract rather than toll it and get the full season

 

[flyersnorth]

Plot twist: The plan is for Fedotov and Kolosov to battle it out the rest of the way. Ersson and Sandstrom back to LHV.

Come on dude.......

The Flyers didn't give up on him, and have followed all the protocols to get him here. He's not going to shit on them and sour NHL relations. I have no doubt he will give them at least a full year.

The NHL still apparently has a suspension on him, so it may not apply. I’m sure there has to be some consideration to that.

The last thing the NHL are going to do, is get in the way of any Russians that want to play here.
