Ivan Fedotov’s situation is quite special. For those who haven’t been following the case, here’s what happened.
In 2022-23, the Russian goaltender signed a one-year entry contract with the Flyers, who drafted him years ago. He never managed to report to Pennsylvania, however.
For what? Because he provided false documents to the Russian authorities to avoid military service. He was detained for a year in Siberia.
Once released, the goalkeeper thought his one-year contract with the Flyers was over and he signed in KHL with CSKA. The KHL agreed to formalize the deal, which made it official for him.
But the Flyers ruled that due to the keeper not being able to play his year, the keeper’s contract extended for one more year, question whether the club had the right to have him. for a year, as planned.
Two clubs therefore claimed to have a valid contract with the goalkeeper and the IIHF was involved in determining which contract was valid. The goalkeeper, he said he was going to report to the club he needed.

But now the IIHF agreed with the Flyers: their contract was valid for 2023-2024.
The goalkeeper had a two-week window to join the club or be released by the time the Flyers showed up. He didn’t since he believed he was under contract for two years (2023 to 2025) in the KHL.

Result? He was suspended for four months from all official domestic and international matches. It all starts September 1, the start of the KHL season, and ends when 2023 becomes 2024.
CSKA is banned from all international transfers from August 11, 2023 to August 10, 2024, i.e. for one year.
The goalkeeper cannot therefore play with CSKA until the year 2024 comes to the fore. But once there, will he have to go to Philadelphia to respect his agreement?
That’s hard to say.

We can say that he quickly made Freddie Freeman forget in Atlanta.
