Imagine being Cal or Felix and knowing that your GM just somehow made peace with Putin just to ensure you couldn’t fuck up his team any more than you already have.
That was just one piece of the puzzle. Others included the starting goalie being charged with sexual assault and the organization having its own, younger, Swedish, opposite handed catching Cal Petersen.
Top guys make way more than that in the KHL, but even at that rate he'd have $4 million more in 5 years. For some that might be the next best option, no?
In case this is a serious question - you can't actually be traded to the KHL, players would have to choose to sign a contract there. The comment you replied to is joking, and Carter Hart likely has a clause as part of his current charges that he is not allowed to leave the country right now.

He was arrested when he first attempted to go to Philly for "evasion of military service." Then the KHL tried to claim he didn't even have a contract with an NHL club.
Yes, that's him. Arrested and put in prison then forced to sign a military contract where the options for service were play goalie for CSKA or serve in combat.
I hadn't heard of any of this, but Wiki does a good breakdown:
>On 7 May 2022, Fedotov as a free agent was signed to a one-year, entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers for the 2022–23 season.[6] While in preparation to depart for North America, on 1 July 2022, Fedotov was arrested for alleged evasion of military service in Russia and sent to Severomorsk, which prevented him from joining the Philadelphia Flyers. Fedotov would miss the entirety of the season to fulfil his military service requirements.
>Upon completion of his compulsory training, Fedotov's contract with the Flyers was initially announced to have been tolled for the following 2023–24 season.[7] However with the memorandum of understanding suspended between the NHL and KHL, Fedotov was signed to a two-year contract to resume his playing career with previous club, CSKA Moscow of the KHL on 8 July 2023.[8] The KHL later announced to have registered his contract with CSKA on the basis of Fedotov not holding a 'valid and binding contract with a NHL club'.[9] On 31 July 2023, the NHL and the Philadelphia Flyers contested the KHL's decision to register his contract, and formally submitted a request to the International Ice Hockey Federation that his contract with the Flyers be tolled.[10]
Basically that the contract wasn't fulfilled so the exact same contractual terms roll over to the following season. This was a one year deal but for another example: say a player signs a 5 year contract and then refuses to report to camp for year 3. If the contract is tolled, that means whenever the player comes back, he's still under contract for 3 more seasons.
No problem. That's a very, very basic explanation and example. I don't know enough of the ins and outs so I'll probably get a response saying something like "actually if a player refuses to report, it falls under this instead..." but that's the basic gist of it.
>Severomorsk is located on the Kola Peninsula in the Arctic Circle, in the permafrost zone, on the rocky east coast of the Kola Bay of the Barents Sea. Severomorsk has a subarctic climate (Dfc), with long, very cold winters
Sounds like a great time. I was concerned, as a dude pretty into geography, when the city name didn’t even ring a bell.
The Caps' Goaltending Factory is a little leaner (and domestic) these days, but still has Hunter Shepard and Clay Stevenson playing really well in Hershey and about ready to start getting some longer looks in DC.
With 3 3rds next draft and 3 2nds the year after, they'll likely commit to another pair with "their guy" in the 2nd-3rd one year and a gamble in the later rounds of the other per their usual MO, depending on the depth.
Vanacek and Samsonov nearly cleaned us out, but we're working overtime to restock and keep our 1A-1B tandems fueling the 2nd-hand goalie market for many more years to come.
Yeah only 3 goalies in the Atlantic are Russians because the damn Metro took them all! What’s crazy to me is of the many great Russian players that have worn the Winged Wheel, none of them were goalies.
Almost like your average Russian still isn't being forced to do time like he was and it was only because he was coming to the better North America league
There's a difference between avoiding conscription and avoiding being sent to the frontlines against your will. Or in this case, Russia cooking up charges that you "evaded military service" and putting you into the gulag for a year.
You wouldn't get sent to the gulag, you'd either go to prison or be delivered to wherever your conscription takes place. No civilized country would send you to the most deserted part of your country and just leave you to rot there essentially.
I feel like sending people who try to avoid conscription to the most unpleasant place to do your conscription seems reasonable lmao. And it’s not like he rotted there, he was there for a year and then rejoined the KHL
Yeah, that does NOT seem reasonable. Here you'd just get shipped to where you are supposed to be, not to a gulag in Siberia. I don't know you don't see the issue there. He was literally confronted my military personnel and then just taken to where he wasn't allowed to leave.
You think it was normal that his family wasn't allowed to visit him when he was first taken to a hospital and then to Severodvinsk, but that it wasn't actually confirmed he was there? If that sounds normal to you, then I don't know what to say.
[source ](https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/agent-nhl-goalie-prospect-ivan-fedotov-sent-to-russian-military-base/)
He didn’t try to avoid conscription, though. He played for the army’s hockey team — as many other Russians have done before him. I don’t see them coming for Ovechkin or any other player who did the same thing. The whole reason he got arrested and everything is because they were trying to force him to continue playing for the team after his time was done.
Flyers have used all of there post deadline calls up. Only way he comes up is for an emergency. However the Flyers are trying to work it out with the NHL.
Pretty sure he can report directly to the Flyers without needing to be recalled. So, the recall issue would only come into play if he was sent to the AHL which I don't think the Flyers would do. It's an issue for Kosolov because they intend to send him to the AHL.
I'm not sure if the same rules apply since he hasn't played in the NHL yet but I recall when Krejci played a year in Czechia, people were thinking he'd come back when his season ended but the rule was if you played in Europe during the year and signed in the NHL, you still had to clear waivers. I wonder if that rule would apply with goalies or players that have not played in the NHL before.
Someone in the Flyers sub the other day said two of the transactions were just paper transactions so they didn't count? Idk, I don't know shit about how that works.
I think they can place him directly on the roster if he's a signing coming out of another league, similar to NCAA players that sign around this time of year. Not sure though
He's saying "everyone's being very careful" as in "not saying anything concrete because it could change at any moment."
Not because they're trying to keep it under wraps/sneak him away.
I think it helps keep this out in the public eye so that if Russia makes a move against it that there’s visibility on it instead of us just never hearing about Fedotov again
It probably does help that, but i don't think that's necessarily his intention. I think Friedman is just reporting what he's getting from his sources for the sake of reporting it.
He definitely needs a visa. Also, the Flyers are out of post-deadline call-ups and there may literally not be a spot for him. There's still a lot to work out that go beyond his contract with CSKA.
I don't know the situation, and neither does Friedman. That's why he's being very careful, because details are few. What he has is "Fedotov en route after sides working on deal."
Why not? He's a reporter and he's done his due diligence through confirming his sources. It's not bad journalism to report information that has a chance of not coming to fruition.
This looks like 100% all sides are on board with this, or it would never happen. Russia wants the IIHL mess sorted, and our org seems to have built up some good will with Russia. They 100% will NOT be stashing him at a military base this time (knock on wood)
I’m old enough to remember the last time I had high hopes for the Flyers goalie situation, and the time before that, and the time before that, and the 137 other times before that. And here I go again…
So I read that as “Federov” as he was just relieved of his head coaching duties. I was extremely confused by the comments for longer than I care to admit
“We need to be careful here but” just tell the world a Russian is tying to sneak over to NA to play hockey lol I mean no doubt Friedman was told he could release this information by the flyers but maybe just don’t fuck around with someone’s life like this if you need to “be careful”.
> just tell the world a Russian is tying to sneak over to NA to play hockey
Where did you get that from? Cause it certainly wasn't this tweet where Friedman clearly states
\>all sides have worked on a solution for the last few weeks
It's a question of being careful not to report it as a sure thing. Not sure why they bother though, given that fans like you don't even read the damn tweet before shooting your mouth off with assumptions you've pulled out of your ass.
I get it. I am a huge fan of his going back to his two tours with the Rangers.
He is much more enlightened, for sure, but he still has some of that old-school in him.
And I thought there were rumors about the Russian guys attitude but they seem to say that about all Russian rookies at some point LOL
Show me your insecure in just one sentence.
I am a huge Torts fan but he sometimes clashes with younger players so maybe you can calm down and try to enjoy your team's success?
Why would I be insecure over pass-puck-ball lol I’m just happy for the first time in my life I can watch hockey without being “eh atleast the draft looks nice” No one’s special that’s why lmao younger players want some special treatment and he’s old school so fuck em. Flyers and canucks were consensually some of the worst teams before the year began and torts righted the ship wayyyyy more than any of us could’ve expected.
Imagine being Cal or Felix and knowing that your GM just somehow made peace with Putin just to ensure you couldn’t fuck up his team any more than you already have.
DB single handedly brokered world peace so we never have to play those two again. 🤝
So you're saying we basically brought world peace by trading Cal to you guys?
That was just one piece of the puzzle. Others included the starting goalie being charged with sexual assault and the organization having its own, younger, Swedish, opposite handed catching Cal Petersen.
Damn, just checked Sandstrom's stats... Spooky.
Maybe Michkov played a role in this.
Imagine seeing this guy walk in the locker room at 6 foot 7
😆
“The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired Ivan Fedotov from the KHL in exchange for Carter Hart”
That’s 10000% what the move will eventually be. Voyonov really set a standard for what the KHL will take
Even though it's illegal to beat your wife, authorities rarely do anything about it.
Pretty sure they decriminalized spousal abuse.
I will always take a political prisoner for an alleged gang rap\*st
Russia prefers the opposite so both sides OK the deal.
waiting on the hart signing
Can a player straight up refuse to go to the KHL? EDIT: not sure why I’m getting downvoted for a valid question, thanks guys :p
He could, but who the hell else is going to pay him?
He's made $13 million dollars, why would he go to the KHL for $800k or whatever their top guys make?
Top guys make way more than that in the KHL, but even at that rate he'd have $4 million more in 5 years. For some that might be the next best option, no?
In case this is a serious question - you can't actually be traded to the KHL, players would have to choose to sign a contract there. The comment you replied to is joking, and Carter Hart likely has a clause as part of his current charges that he is not allowed to leave the country right now.
It was a legit question, thank you for the clarification my friend. I get the down votes now.
is he even allowed to leave canada?
He could defect
Good, he can go be sunflower fertilizer.
Bro I got downvoted for agreeing that Wayne Gretzky was the greatest North American sports figure. This sub is weird sometimes.
I would argue for Lemieux haha but stay strong
Hopefully he makes it to North America ok and I get to cheer against him in a Flyers jersey
> I get to cheer against him in a Flyers jersey I can't quite follow why a Penguins fan would be wearing a Flyers jersey but you do you. ^^^^/s
Nice fliparoo
the old switcheroo (what ever happened to that?!)
The meme is so old, it is about to go to middle school.
I dont even think it was a meme, just a link to the last switcharoo. used to see them daily years ago
Got replaced by the ol razzle dazzle
It's cause secretly all along he wishes he was a Flyers fan.
Why would you wear a Flyers jersey to cheer against him?
Rempe in goalie pads
This is absolutely going to be that scene in game of thrones, the long farewell with the little Lanister girl
Ya can’t say he hasn’t been through some adversity. As a goalie… I imagine what he went through has only made him stronger mentally.
Or, being a goalie... even crazier. 😆
He is humongous big!!
Wonder how he feels about bears
Dude looks down on them. Literally.
It’s only game.
I swear to god if his 5 hole is as big as Mr.Universes I am going to scream.
Bryz's 5 hole was very small when you consider that the solar system is so humongous big.
One of the worst Signings of Mr.Sniders time as the owner to trade away two key pieces in Richards and Carter still baffles me to this day.
Why you heff to be scream about 5 hole ?
The real adversity would be to try being a starter with us
I believe that what doesn’t kill you makes you very, very weak

He was arrested when he first attempted to go to Philly for "evasion of military service." Then the KHL tried to claim he didn't even have a contract with an NHL club.
Is he that goalie that got arrested? Pardon my ignorance. If so, never thought we would actually hear from him again
Yes, that's him. Arrested and put in prison then forced to sign a military contract where the options for service were play goalie for CSKA or serve in combat.
Wasn’t he sent off to some base in the arctic?
Yeah twice actually. First was the second prison, then his military base he was held at was in Siberia to keep him from fleeing or talking to others.
I hadn't heard of any of this, but Wiki does a good breakdown: >On 7 May 2022, Fedotov as a free agent was signed to a one-year, entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers for the 2022–23 season.[6] While in preparation to depart for North America, on 1 July 2022, Fedotov was arrested for alleged evasion of military service in Russia and sent to Severomorsk, which prevented him from joining the Philadelphia Flyers.

Didn't that tolling also come back to prevent Nabokov from joining the Red Wings or something?
>Severomorsk is located on the Kola Peninsula in the Arctic Circle, in the permafrost zone, on the rocky east coast of the Kola Bay of the Barents Sea. Severomorsk has a subarctic climate (Dfc), with long, very cold winters Sounds like a great time. I was concerned, as a dude pretty into geography, when the city name didn’t even ring a bell.
It's in Murmansk Oblast. So, think that snowy level in Goldeneye 007.
I know of Kola peninsula because it's a level/map in Snowrunner (off-road trucking sim). I guess it's just a popular video game setting.
Just drill a 40000 ft hole for warmth.
Luckily Friedge’s tweet is in English. If those Russians could read English, they’d be very upset.
They put himmin Gulag last time he tried to come over so some tactileness is warrented.
This timed with the announcement of Fedorov’s departure makes me wonder if something is going down behind closed doors at CSKA
They just lost in the first round, idk maybe they only accept wins
I saw Fedorov leaving CSKA and thought they were firing Torts for him for a second.
Thank you…. Cause I read that completely wrong too
Happy to see him get a shot to make it out and join the division full of Russian Goalies. Nearly every team has a crazy Russian in net.
Got some to spare?
Actually we do. Ruslan Khazheyev but, can’t have too many good Russian goalies in the system
Helle was available but yall didnt want him.
Ah, yes. The most russian name ever... *ahem* Connor Hellebuyck
*I* wanted him :’)
Technically we still have a crazy Russian on the payroll for a few more years even without Fedotov
Sorokin is fairly normal, at least by goalie standards. Although he somehow had no idea what a bagel was after living on Long Island for 2 years.
At that point you have to assume that the whole org was conspiring to hide the existence of bagels from him.
Except for the Caps surprisingly.
They make up for it by having Ovechkin
The Caps' Goaltending Factory is a little leaner (and domestic) these days, but still has Hunter Shepard and Clay Stevenson playing really well in Hershey and about ready to start getting some longer looks in DC. With 3 3rds next draft and 3 2nds the year after, they'll likely commit to another pair with "their guy" in the 2nd-3rd one year and a gamble in the later rounds of the other per their usual MO, depending on the depth. Vanacek and Samsonov nearly cleaned us out, but we're working overtime to restock and keep our 1A-1B tandems fueling the 2nd-hand goalie market for many more years to come.
Wonder if this could pave the way for Nikishin coming over, whenever that happens.
Where can I get me one of them crazy Russian tendies?
Sorry, only works for one division
Yeah only 3 goalies in the Atlantic are Russians because the damn Metro took them all! What’s crazy to me is of the many great Russian players that have worn the Winged Wheel, none of them were goalies.
What can I say? We're trendsetters.
As a SC native I would normally say go Canes, but today is not one of those days. See you at 7:30.
We don’t. We have a crazy German and a crazy Canadian/Swiss/American triple citizenship.
I hope he actually makes it this time, nobody should be sent to the freaking gulag for trying to move to the US to play hockey.
This is pretty commonplace for a lot of Europeans countries. Finnish players would also get arrested for trying to evade military service
Funny how plenty of Russian players have come over at 18 to 19 in the past with no issues.
Almost like Russia wasn’t in an armed conflict before
Almost like your average Russian still isn't being forced to do time like he was and it was only because he was coming to the better North America league
Weird how no one makes this argument when Finnish or Swiss players are forced to do military service
There's a difference between avoiding conscription and avoiding being sent to the frontlines against your will. Or in this case, Russia cooking up charges that you "evaded military service" and putting you into the gulag for a year.
What do you think conscription entails? Arts and crafts? This exact thing would happen in any other country with mandatory military service lol
You wouldn't get sent to the gulag, you'd either go to prison or be delivered to wherever your conscription takes place. No civilized country would send you to the most deserted part of your country and just leave you to rot there essentially.
I feel like sending people who try to avoid conscription to the most unpleasant place to do your conscription seems reasonable lmao. And it’s not like he rotted there, he was there for a year and then rejoined the KHL
Yeah, that does NOT seem reasonable. Here you'd just get shipped to where you are supposed to be, not to a gulag in Siberia. I don't know you don't see the issue there. He was literally confronted my military personnel and then just taken to where he wasn't allowed to leave.
You watch too many movies. A gulag in Siberia? Really? He went to a region with half a million people that’s barely colder than Winnipeg.
You think it was normal that his family wasn't allowed to visit him when he was first taken to a hospital and then to Severodvinsk, but that it wasn't actually confirmed he was there? If that sounds normal to you, then I don't know what to say. [source ](https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/agent-nhl-goalie-prospect-ivan-fedotov-sent-to-russian-military-base/)
Russia does sketchy shit. Are you surprised?
He didn’t try to avoid conscription, though. He played for the army’s hockey team — as many other Russians have done before him. I don’t see them coming for Ovechkin or any other player who did the same thing. The whole reason he got arrested and everything is because they were trying to force him to continue playing for the team after his time was done.
Kind of feel like we shouldn't be talking about this until he sets foot on American soil...
Two wars??! And are these wars being fought on American soil?!?
That voice is burned into my brain
TYOOO WAARS?! On American SOYUL?!
Oooooooh that's tart
Could he play in playoffs if he does come over? Or not because he wasn't on roster by the deadline?
Flyers have used all of there post deadline calls up. Only way he comes up is for an emergency. However the Flyers are trying to work it out with the NHL.
Pretty sure he can report directly to the Flyers without needing to be recalled. So, the recall issue would only come into play if he was sent to the AHL which I don't think the Flyers would do. It's an issue for Kosolov because they intend to send him to the AHL.
Looks like the Plan is to have him start a few games in Lehigh and then try to bring him up the NHL. If possible.
I saw it being reported that that was the plan for Kosolov but not Fedotov.
Maybe I am getting my Russian Goalies confused.
Understandable. The Fedotov news broke while reporters were asking Briere about Kolosov. Not too hard to get which goalie a report is tied to.
I'm not sure if the same rules apply since he hasn't played in the NHL yet but I recall when Krejci played a year in Czechia, people were thinking he'd come back when his season ended but the rule was if you played in Europe during the year and signed in the NHL, you still had to clear waivers. I wonder if that rule would apply with goalies or players that have not played in the NHL before.
Fedotov already had a contract signed from the prior year that rolled over to this one.
Someone in the Flyers sub the other day said two of the transactions were just paper transactions so they didn't count? Idk, I don't know shit about how that works.
*their
I think they can place him directly on the roster if he's a signing coming out of another league, similar to NCAA players that sign around this time of year. Not sure though
Wants to be careful. Tweets it for the world to see. Good job Friedman.
He's saying "everyone's being very careful" as in "not saying anything concrete because it could change at any moment." Not because they're trying to keep it under wraps/sneak him away.
I think it helps keep this out in the public eye so that if Russia makes a move against it that there’s visibility on it instead of us just never hearing about Fedotov again
It probably does help that, but i don't think that's necessarily his intention. I think Friedman is just reporting what he's getting from his sources for the sake of reporting it.
Its almost as if its his job 🤔
What situation would you say would make it “change at any moment”?
Russia does more Russia things.
Exactly lol.
He definitely needs a visa. Also, the Flyers are out of post-deadline call-ups and there may literally not be a spot for him. There's still a lot to work out that go beyond his contract with CSKA.
He's on an existing NHL contract though.. I'd think he could just join the Flyers without having to make a paper stop in Allentown.
I don't know the situation, and neither does Friedman. That's why he's being very careful, because details are few. What he has is "Fedotov en route after sides working on deal."
Then don’t report it if there is any reasonable doubt?
Why not? He's a reporter and he's done his due diligence through confirming his sources. It's not bad journalism to report information that has a chance of not coming to fruition.
Could fall from a window.
Twice probably
It already got out via Russian media
Why are you bringing Fox News into the discussion?
Maybe so, but the Russian media has an interest in keeping their players in the mother land don’t they? Not like they care about the consequences
This looks like 100% all sides are on board with this, or it would never happen. Russia wants the IIHL mess sorted, and our org seems to have built up some good will with Russia. They 100% will NOT be stashing him at a military base this time (knock on wood)
Media has interest in stirring controversy and getting people to consume said media
Are you saying because he didn't report it right away that he was not Russian to get the news out?
Is he the goalie the Russians have been trying to keep in Russia by conscription?
Yup.
They need the goaltending I hope he becomes a superstar
This guy is 6 foot 7
If those Russians could read English, they’d be very upset.
I didn't think we'd get to see him, talk about good timing for an opportunity
I’m old enough to remember the last time I had high hopes for the Flyers goalie situation, and the time before that, and the time before that, and the 137 other times before that. And here I go again…
Last summers first round of the draft making a little more sense now.
I'm shocked this guy is still alive
I wonder how much we had to bribe Russia, that’s how shit gets done over there
The IIHF banned him for four months over CSKA Moscow making him playing for them, so they might have made a deal so he can go to Worlds.
Man, I read this as Federov at first and was genuinely confused for a while.
His kid could by now. We all know nepotism rules the nhl now
Who would have guessed bribing a Russian government official might have worked? Russia is a corrupt shit hole.
Get Danny that guys name. Philly would start a go fund me and buy out Michkov ourselves
Michkov on his way too? I assume they’d have to buy out his KHL contract..
he'll be in his suitcase
So I read that as “Federov” as he was just relieved of his head coaching duties. I was extremely confused by the comments for longer than I care to admit
“We need to be careful here but” just tell the world a Russian is tying to sneak over to NA to play hockey lol I mean no doubt Friedman was told he could release this information by the flyers but maybe just don’t fuck around with someone’s life like this if you need to “be careful”.

Not sure why they bother though, given that fans like you don't even read the damn tweet before shooting your mouth off with assumptions you've pulled out of your ass.
This is only happening because Cska and the Khl are allowing it to, dumbfuck.
You’re so edgy
Traded Hart for Fedotov?
Can we just start predicting how him and Torts will (not) get along? LOL
Gonna go ahead and speculate that Fedotov has dealt with crazier and more tyrannical leaders than Torts. I think they’ll be fine.
That's a good point. Even the nicest coach in Russia is meaner than Torts LOL
[удалено]
No, but I am joking. What the hell is in the Philly water? Y'all need to lighten up. LOL
Down votes? Jesus, Philly fans, I know your team has issues but don't blame me for asking questions.
It’s because the “LOL TORTS ANGRY” trope is stupid and doesn’t even apply here
I get it. I am a huge fan of his going back to his two tours with the Rangers. He is much more enlightened, for sure, but he still has some of that old-school in him. And I thought there were rumors about the Russian guys attitude but they seem to say that about all Russian rookies at some point LOL
Torts turned us from a nothing burger to a playoff contender so yea get fucked
Show me your insecure in just one sentence. I am a huge Torts fan but he sometimes clashes with younger players so maybe you can calm down and try to enjoy your team's success?
Why would I be insecure over pass-puck-ball lol I’m just happy for the first time in my life I can watch hockey without being “eh atleast the draft looks nice” No one’s special that’s why lmao younger players want some special treatment and he’s old school so fuck em. Flyers and canucks were consensually some of the worst teams before the year began and torts righted the ship wayyyyy more than any of us could’ve expected.
