“I expected the IIHF to resort to such a decision. The organization will certainly try to avoid violating its regulations and maintain good relations with the National Hockey League (NHL). In case where CSKA would have a different opinion, the club can file a protest and go to arbitration All actions are in accordance with the law and each side follows its own strategy In the end, I think Fedotov will move to Philadelphia and spend some time there season, then a year later he can return to CSKA.
Is it possible that Fedotov will have to go to North America? To be honest, I don’t see any other alternatives,” Babayev said in an interview with RB Sport.
