A leading North American expert working with National Hockey League (NHL) stars on the right to anonymity told that “Philadelphia Flyers “can freeze the contract with the Russian goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov if a criminal case is opened against the athlete in Russia.
On Friday, the media reported Fedotov’s detention in St. Petersburg. The request to find the 25-year-old guard came from the military prosecutor’s office, where he is considered an army rebel.
– Fedotov signed a contract with Philadelphia until June 1, so his contract in the NHL is registered. If Fedotov plays next season for CSKA, which owns the rights to the league goalkeeper, an international dispute could arise. Same when Alexander Radulov under a valid contract withNashville “still to play”Salavat Yulayev “. The NHL, even after February 24, honored the contracts in the KHL, but now there will be a reason not to.
On the other hand, there is an obvious movement. A criminal case could be opened against Fedotov in Russia for evading military service. Then he will not be able to travel to the United States. Philadelphia will have no choice but to put Ivan on the “defective” (refusenik) list for not showing up for training camp and freeze his NHL contract.
When Fedotov has an open criminal case, he will not be able to obtain a visa for the United States. This is prohibited by US law, so Ivan will stay in Russia. Most likely, that’s what the bet is on. And I know Fedotov doesn’t have a visa.
Philadelphia will do everything not to lose a promising guard. The Flyers’ rights to Fedotov will run until 2023. So now, apparently, the NHL club is going to freeze Ivan’s contract for a year, putting him on the “defeat” list. And in a year, they will be waiting again in the Philadelphia camp when he solves his problems. Yes, despite the international situation in the United States, they still understand that the duties to the military registration and enlistment office and the country are serious business. And if Fedotov couldn’t solve this problem before the age of 25, then Philadelphia will not help,” a source said.
Last season, Fedotov won the Gagarin Cup with CSKA. In May, the goaltender signed an agreement with the Flyers.
