Former striker of the Russian national hockey team, Ilya Kovalchuk, has reached a dead end with the contract of goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov. Transmits words “Match TV”.
“This is a very difficult question and so far it seems like a dead end for me. Usually KHL clubs negotiate with NHL clubs. And you also need to know the hockey player’s desire. But if Philadelphia has a contract in front of them and they want to see it, then it will be very difficult to solve the problem. Let’s see … The most important thing is that this does not turn into a large number of young men who will flee to America with Russian contracts, ”said Kovalchuk.
Before the start of last season, Fedotov signed a contract with Philadelphia, which plays in the National Hockey League (NHL). However, he missed the whole season due to his service in the Russian army.
On July 9, 2023, the Continental Hockey League (KHL) registered the contract of goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov with CSKA.
On July 3, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly announced that the goalkeeper has a valid contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Formerly Ivan Fedotov spoke that he was staying in Russia.
