Civil servant and hockey commentator Leonid Weisfeld in a conversation with , he expressed hope that the KHL in the situation with the goalkeeper’s contract Ivan Fedotov With CSKA will do everything according to the law.
On Saturday, CSKA announced the signing of an agreement with Fedotov before the end of the 2024/25 season, the contract was registered by the KHL. Last May, the goaltender signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Flyers in the NHL.

In mid-June, Philadelphia announced that the 26-year-old hockey player’s contract was extended for the 2023/24 season.
The KHL said on Saturday that based on information and documents received from the NHL, the league and the club assume that Fedotov has not signed a valid agreement with the NHL club for the 2023/24 season. in the sense set out in the memorandum of understanding. NHL Vice Commissioner Bill Daly later told that Fedotov’s performance in the KHL would be contrary to his existing contractual obligations to the Flyers.
We don’t know all the details. If the KHL registered Fedotov’s contract, then everything is fine. The league didn’t just look to the NHL for clarification. This should be asked of people who negotiate with Daley. I hope they have complied with the terms of the contract compliance protocol. If not, it’s a disaster, of course.
I read Daley’s statement. On the one hand, he made this statement, and on the other hand, the Flyers did not include Ivan in the training camp participation list. It is a difficult situation. To comment you need to be inside and understand what is going on. We have to study the papers. I hope everything will be done according to the law. Still, the league should understand these issues,” Weisfeld told .
