Former defenseman for several KHL clubs Nikita Shchitov told he was offended by the way the last two years of the goalkeeper’s career went Ivan Fedotova .
In the summer of 2022, Fedotov signed a rookie contract with “Philadelphia “However, he was called up for military service in the army. At the end of his service, the goalkeeper signed a two-year deal with Moscow CSKA who announced on Thursday the termination of the contract with the hockey player.
— It’s a bit of a shame for Fedotov, at first he lost a year in the army, this season he gained in form, but we cannot say that he managed to do it. It is unknown what will happen to Ivan next. CSKA has a new coaching team with its own vision, they no longer rely on Fedotov. They probably see another goalkeeper as the main goalkeeper, maybe there are already agreements in place.
Perhaps CSKA does not want the conflict between the federations to continue and Fedotov will now go to play in Philadelphia. I repeat, this is an offensive situation, it would be better if he immediately went to the NHL rather than the army. We will follow the development of Ivan’s career, only good luck and success for him, ”Shchitov told .
Last season, the 27-year-old goalie played 49 games in the KHL regular season and playoffs, keeping five clean sheets. While with CSKA, Fedotov won the Gagarin Cup and, with the Russian team, won silver at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing.
