@PHILOUDELPHIA you ever drive down to VA? Thought I just saw a guy resembling you in an Eagles hoodie hop out of a cab

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Someone else always made them. If need be I can do even more work.

I sweat myself down to the boner for you people I swear

for this team i dont think a PGT is even needed..

Yeah, a similar quality established veteran backup would run league minimum.

what you think Leights is up to ?

 

[deadhead]

Yeah, a similar quality established veteran backup would run league minimum.

Everyone is a genius ex post.

Ex ante they had no reason to think he'd be this bad.

And they have every reason to give him time to adjust, given he has a track record as a top KHL goalie (and the long history of top KHL goalies succeeding in the NHL).

And a good goalie like Stolarz is 1 year 2.5 mill

I like no PGT actually

 

[BringBackHakstol]

This team stinks. Horrible 5v5 play every single game

 

[Random Forest]

It’s crazy how small Fedotov plays in net. He really reminds me of a less controlled Boucher. He just doesn’t seem to take up much space which is outrageous for being 6’8”.

This one isn't hindsight

In his first game, maybe even the first shot, he let out a huge rebound and then was awkward as hell getting back up. Essentially was out of play during that process. That was a huge red flag and has really stuck with me

He was a stud in the Olympics. Definitely overpaid him though.

Should be in the AHL. Makes $3.25 mil so I'm sure he could get comfortable in Allentown

remember when Emery would slide out of his crease and basicly end up in the corner boards..

you just knew his hips were powder then...

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

One has to wonder how that road trip looks with a more competent backup. He looked good for a long stretch in the Calgary game but when it unravels, it does so quickly. Wonder if it’s mental

It very well could be. Goalies are weird. Some goalies are fragile with confidence.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Briere had no other choice but to negotiate against himself to drive up Fedotov’s price. It’s exactly what they teach in the Wharton Negotiations class, I’m sure.

 

[deadhead]

Fedotov was probably going to make good money in the KHL, given his performance there.
So NHL minimum would not have been enough to get him to come over.
@Appleyard would have a better idea what kind of deal he could get in the KHL.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

They took a shot with a 6’7 netminder who had won KHL goalie of the year, a KHL championship, & an Olympic silver.

I really can’t blame them for wanting to see what he could do in the NHL, especially considering the Carter Hart situation, even though in retrospect it looks like an overpaid contract.

Only 2 years & $3.275M. And they can shave $1.15M off that cap hit if he gets sent to the AHL. So really only $2.125M in cap this year & next if he can’t hack it.

Far from the end of the world.

He looks awful, though. Maybe he can adjust & regain confidence with AHL experience.

I’m hoping Kolosov can show enough for a call-up at this point.

It would be one thing if Fedotov was getting unlucky, but he simply looks bad, & they can’t afford to keep trotting him out there unless he turns it around fast.

then add in the goalie replacement money. So really no shaving of cap money

 

[Curufinwe]

Who knows where some of the money from Fedotov's contract is ending up...

What's the highest paid goalie in the KHL make?

 

[Embiid]

Exactly.....pay to play

 

[bennysflyers16]

1.75 mill apparently

Have to factor in taxation, cost of living.

 

[Striiker]

Anyone who managed to make it through this game is sick in the head.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Have to factor in taxation, cost of living.

Possibility for runaway inflation or currency collapse, getting hit by a drone, plane accidentally getting shot down between games, etc. Much to weigh these interesting days

Right now likely somewhere in the 500-800k range would be my guess in KHL. Ofc though that is without tax... so equivalent to a 1-1.5m NHL deal

That was with a stronger ruble tbh.

And he would not be one of the top 5 highest paid guys tbh... only a handful of goalies have ever made 100m rubles or more

Danny negotiated against himself and he dominated !

Why is it hard to say they overpaid money wise on Ivans deal?

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'm in a weird place on the contract where I didn't agree with it, I've never liked it, and I also kind of don't care. Dude got dealt a rough hand. Good for him getting millions when it doesn't really make a difference to the fate of the team, what with all the other malfeasances they have wrought.
