-----------------------------

Then, with the Flyers’ last pick of the draft in the seventh round, Hextall signed off on yet another goalie, and this one he had to talk to Flyers chairman Ed Snider about.

“If we got a sleeper it’s the guy we picked in the seventh round,†Hextall said. “I’m sure some people in the hockey world don’t know who he is.â€

Then, referencing Snider, Hextall said, “I told him there’s a 6-8 goalie out there and he said, ‘Woah, why don’t you take him?’â€

So in comes seventh-rounder Ivan Fedotov, an 18-year-old whose internet resume only lists one game in the Kontinental Hockey League last season. Oh, and Hextall might have been a little off on the centimeter translation, as Fedotov is mostly listed as being 6-6.

Stolarz size.

“He’s a young kid, he’s green, he’s raw,†Hextall said. “You get the guy in the seventh round, you say, ‘I might strike out, I might hit a home run.’ So we felt the risk/reward at that point was worth it.â€

3 goalies, wow hexy really pushing for compeition and who develops the fastest.

 

[Alex91]

Okay philly pump the breaks on euro goalies.

 

[mercury]

It's a goalie party, and everyone's invited!

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

This dude's numbers at home were average but he's 6'6"

Can't teach that so we'll see what happens.

 

[flyersjim73]

good, we needed a goaltending prospect

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

6'6" 192 lbs. tall kid who likely is going to fill out more. Leave him over there for a while & we'll see how things go.

 

[GKJ]

6'6" this guy is a monster

 

[chupanibre]

It's about time we picked a goalie, I was getting worried!

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

End to a great draft.

 

[chupanibre]

Good draft, lots of Russians!

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

Okay philly pump the breaks on euro goalies.

why?

 

[Alex91]

why?

Just playing around. I don't think I remember three goalies being drafted.

After 4th round I don't actually care who they get.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Another goalie? Not a fan at all.

Count me in as not a fan of this pick

Goalies take a lot of time to develop, mostly 3-5 years till they can even pin down a backup spot in one of the main European leagues.

No reason to assume they will have a logjam at that position anytime soon. Personally, I would have preferred another forward though.

should of drafted da goon instead right?
I thought you said these picks don't matter or something to that affect. if he doesn't work out its not the end of the world.

 

[Les Averman]

I'm fine with it. We won't be draft a goalie for a few years unless we have a slam dunk fall to us. With our defensive prospect pool and the way we addressed goalie in this draft, we're likely to see a siege of offensive draft picks next year. Especially since you have to imagine we'll be looking to dump Schenn, Grossman and possibly Streit for picks. Of course, RJ, AMac, and Vinny, would be great but unlikely.

I'd assume we're drafting offense with the first and second rounders next year. I'm actually very excited now that we seem to have shored up our defense for the future and have a bunch of guys in the pool at goalie with Mason on the front lines.

I said it doesn't matter if it is a bad pick. Certainly not worth complaining over five years down the road (cough...Luuko...cough). That doesn't mean that I have to like the pick.

 

[Garbage Goal]

I'm fine with it. We addressed the two positions our NHL group is in most desperate need of (sooner or later) and we added Konecny and Marody who both look like great pickups for where they were picked, especially Konecny. Our entire prospect pool, all positions, were pretty much utter **** not long ago. Can't expect to repair it all at once or for it all to be perfect at once.

if he was the best player available on their board I have no issue with it.

I'll take swinging for the fences every time over picking a 4th line grinder.

 

[Appleyard]

Reaktor lost their first MHL game of the season 7-1 earlier today.

Fedotov started and allowed 4 goals on 18 shots for a .778 sv%... and was relieved just before the half way point of the game.

The consolation is that his backup came in and put up a .727 sv%.

Looking into it he allowed one goal on the first 14-15 shots he faced seemingly... then 3 on the next 3-4 shots.

 

[Tripod]

Not a good start. But he is a long shot anyways and has 4-5 years to get better.
