[Elliotte Friedman] Everyone’s being very careful here for obvious reasons, but it is believed Fedotov is en route to beginning his NHL career for the Flyers. Wasn’t aware until news broke this morning, but all sides have worked on a solution for the last few weeks.

1. I’m so excited that the Flyers are back as team chaos in the NHL

2. The question is does Fedotov stay in the NHL/Philadelphia next season, too? Or is this just a trial run in the NHL to fulfill his contractual obligations?

   Moreover, would the Flyers be ready to roll with Fedotov as a full time backup next year?

3. .917 SP and 4 SO. 

4. Let the record show that the Flyers just worked on a solution behind the scenes in order to secure the termination of a KHL contract. Hopefully not the last time they do that.

5. What wild shit is our boy Danny up to with Russia rn? Lol

6. Pay attention Elliotte ffs !

7. Been saying it all along that I’m highly skeptical that international politics *probably* won’t impact hockey, pleeeaaase let that be right until Michkov comes over 🙏

8. Fedotov is something like 6’7”. What do you think the odds are that “Fedotov coming over” is actually “Kolosov and Michkov in a trenchcoat coming over”?

9. Danny showing he is willing to go to great lengths to get Cal and Felix out of his fucking net.

10. Briere knew that Peterson and Sandstrom were not the answer.

11. This situation makes me feel better about Michkov Hopefully when it’s his turn to come over we won’t have to deal with issues like with fedotovs first try.

12. Man, I’m really digging this Danny B era

13. That beer league team that brings in the ringer for playoffs

14. Careful, Flyers and Fedotov in the same sentence.

15. Good news! Here’s hoping he can adjust to rink size quickly and steak a few wins no matter where he plays in NA.

16. Briere saw that Cal Peterson game in Pittsburgh and said get me a line to Moscow.

17. Next week we’ll see Danny in Russia negotiating the end of the Ukraine war on world news

18. Can someone TLDR his contract situation? Do we have him under contract or just his rights?

19. How the fuck did they pull this off

20. They better not be Putin us on with this news…

21. This could be why they passed on picking up Raanta. Perhaps they knew they were close to getting Fedotov here

22. Holy crap

23. Bro how fast is he getting here?! Imagine freaking Ersson and Fedotov?!?! I never thought he would ever be here!!!!!! Now Kolosov can get experience in the AHL and holy crap we are absolutely STACKED at goalie all of the sudden! In the span of 2 weeks too!

24. Hey maybe someone who knows more than me can put the dots together better but a prominent Russian hockey news outlet said there’s some chatter hart is gonna be playing in Russia. Maybe since he’s on like a termination list the flyers can “move” him to there for guys somehow?

25. Talk about great timing for an opportunity

26. Vasilevsky is the Big Cat. So Fedotov is the Biggest Cat.

27. Felix and Cal sweating bullets right now.

28. Chuck Fletcher punching clouds.
