Moscow goaltender Fedotov joins Flyers
The process involved in plucking goalie Ivan Fedotov from both the Russian military and hockey and ultimately landing him in Philadelphia nine years after he was drafted by the Flyers remains largely shrouded in Cold War-era secrecy. wrapped.
Flyers general manager Danny Briere remained quiet about Fedotov's path to Philadelphia when the goaltender was introduced to the team on Friday.
“I won't go into details,” Briere said.
Here's what the Flyers want to know: They believe the 27-year-old Fedotov is worth the difficult and complicated acquisition and can make an impact late in their quest for a playoff spot.
“That's what gives us confidence that he's going to come and help us,” Briere said at the Flyers' New Jersey complex. “He's been through a lot in his career. He's been through a lot in his personal life. That's a big part of why we feel comfortable. We welcome him. I’m excited about that.”
Fedotov was released from his contract with Russia's KHL by CSKA Moscow on Thursday, allowing him to join the Flyers nine years after being selected in the seventh round of the 2015 draft.
CSKA abruptly announced the termination of his contract with one year left on his contract, stating that his KHL rights would be maintained. “The club would like to thank Ivan Fedotov and wish him the best in his career.'' said.
Although Fedotov speaks limited English, he has stated multiple times that he is grateful for the opportunity to play in the NHL with the Flyers.
“It's been a very tough two years,” he said. “Now I'm here. I'm happy to be here and help the team.”
Fedotov is under contract with the Flyers this season after the original contract he signed in May 2022 was rescinded. He tried to come to North America in July 2022, but was instead taken by authorities to a remote military base in the Arctic and ordered to serve a year.
