The NHL said that CSKA is not acting contrary to the memorandum regarding the goalkeeper Fedotov
Deputy Commissioner of the National Hockey League (NHL) Bill Daly made a statement about the contract of Russian goaltender Ivan Fedotov, who returned from the army, with CSKA Moscow. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
Daly said the league does not believe that CSKA is acting contrary to the memorandum of understanding between the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) and the NHL regarding the goalkeeper’s contract.
Fedotov signed a new contract with CSKA on July 1. Later, the leadership of the KHL confirmed this information. Daly said that the league is unhappy with Fedotov’s contract with CSKA, as it violates his existing agreement with the Philadelphia Flyers club.
In July 2022, Fedotov was detained in St. Petersburg on suspicion of evading military service. He was going to fly to the United States to play for Philadelphia next season. Later, Fedotov was taken to the training unit of the Russian Navy for military service.
