10 games in Flyers 30th, Oilers 26th, Avs 17th
Not bad.
Bad if the Oilers stay that far down, of course. We only get their pick this year if it's 13+, or if they trade next year's #1.

He’s under 6’ so he’s nobodyHe's like this guy
Who the hell's Emil Andrae
that cant be right... D cant be smol according to Torts..After drafting York, Andrae was/has been the next best D prospect in the system. Then Bonk got drafted two years ago. Andrae is also a listed reason from Briere as to why the Flyers did not draft Buium.
At 5'9 he plays bigger than he is tall.
Risk?So we're going w 3 goales @ main squad or will PHI risk waiving Fedotov to AHL?
There is no risk here to be fair - Danny COMPLETELY whiffed on this one.So we're going w 3 goales @ main squad or will PHI risk waiving Fedotov to AHL?

But not Ghost. Not nhl levelPlayers who would get claimed on waivers before Fedotov:
Fisto
Nic D
Goldberg from the Mighty Ducks films
The Hanson brothers
The corpse of Howie Morenz
It's a rebuilding move, gamble some cap room on a short-term contract, hoping he'll regain the form he had before he was exiled.Yeah, I don't know how you can phrase it like this; there is no magic ball to predict transition from KHL -> NHL, and goalies are voodoo in general. Sure, after he got sent to Siberia, which cannot NOT affect anyone's mental and actual game, the risk got higher, but... It's just another unfortunate chapter in PHI goalie pain, not some sort of Ghost <-> Risto - esque GM blunder.
But that's just my opinion.
teams would line up to snag Fedotov from waivers
You think literally every move Briere makes is a rebuilding move, so maybe you're not the best judge.It's a rebuilding move, gamble some cap room on a short-term contract, hoping he'll regain the form he had before he was exiled.
Since they're not using that room for much the next two seasons, and cap room has far less trade value with a rising cap than 2-3 years ago, it's a reasonable gamble.
If it panned out, you had a bridge to the young goalies and a potential trade chip next summer.

They might as well save 1.1 million or so and send him to LHV. They can do the same in 25-26.So a buyout is pointless
Season Initial Savings Cap Hit 2025-26 $3,275,000 $516,667 $2,758,333 2026-27 -$258,333 $258,333
Come on, how many Flyer ticket holders had a clue who Fedotov was?Feds was a PR move. Making the boys look good to have saved a hostage, and put them in the good books with potentially other young Russian talent.
I don’t actually blame them for it, but let’s call it what it was.
