Why the hell are they spanking Fedotov

Perhaps when they questioned him about the situation he was too afraid to say he was threatened or coerced and took the blame? That's all I can think of.

I'm sure he's fine with not playing for Russia against their satellite states. Russia won't be playing proper international hockey for many years.

Prob not in a rush to go back to Putler land either.

Fedotov is suspended because he played for CSkA despite having a valid NHL contract.

He couldve went to Philadelphia anytime after his discharge. Shit, he was on holiday out of the country for the remainder of that summer.

Rather he chose to re-sign with CSKA for the following season. Illegal by IIHF rules.

Insane contract from day one. No clue what they were thinking

They were thinking they did the work to get him here and he needed to be signed.

And if some of his salary flows back to hockey people in Russia, well that's none of the Flyers business.

It's the U.S.'s business per financial sanctions. Would be hilarious if Comcast is busted for circumventing sanctions.

Maybe just don't bother with a guy that wasn't able to play proper hockey for over a year and ka now 26 years old

He played more games last season than he did at any other point in his career.

And he was under contract already here.

Given the nature of goalie prospects, I don't mind them taking a flier on Fedotov at a higher salary. Him being another Russian to help Michkov is another plus.

It's been ugly to say the least.

Absolutely should be sent to LHV to try and figure things out
