Earlier, on September 1, the head of the KHL, Alexei Morozov, announced that the league allowed Fedotov to play in the regular season for CSKA. In his opinion, this will not lead to a break in relations with the IIHF.
On August 14, the IIHF suspended Fedotov for four months. CSKA banned international transfers for a year. The IIHF refused the army team to register a contract with Fedotov for the new KHL season due to the player’s current agreement with the Philadelphia Flyers club of the National Hockey League (NHL).
On July 1, Fedotov signed an agreement with CSKA. The NHL expressed dissatisfaction with the decision, as it violates the goaltender’s contract with Philadelphia, concluded in May 2022. At the same time, the Russian tried to fly to the United States, but he was detained in St. Petersburg on suspicion of evading military service. After that, the athlete was sent to serve in the Russian Navy. A year later he was demobilized.
