Hello! I am writing a paper for a law school class on transnational courts about the IIHF and NHL-Russia player transfers. I’m starting with the Fedotov mess and looking for a thesis from there. I have found great stuff on litigation from the early 2000s and player transfer agreements with other leagues under previous CBAs but very little current info. I’m also looking for any updates on Fedotov since the IIHF’s ruling in August and Russia ignoring it. I know he’s playing in the KHL now. Did the Flyers just let it go because there isn’t anything they can do? Any help/ideas/resources would be much appreciated!!

I love you for this, so so so much. You've combined just about all of my interests in one ask. I'll give you the very concise version of it here, for public consumption. You might know most of this already, and I'm sorry if this doesn't help that much - but DM me for more info. I can and will go searching with you. Hell, if you want, you can "interview" me via Discord or via DMs here and cite me as a source. (I've done that a lot with my friends for papers hahaha, asked them their thoughts and then cited it.) Under the cut, as always! 💜

As you're probably aware, the IIHF is the leading organizer of ice hockey stuff around the world. I believe it's them that organize the Worlds and World Juniors, and they also have international standards for things like rink size. (Of course, the NHL plays on a nonstandard rink, so...) Importantly, however, the IIHF has very little legal power. It is difficult for them to fully enforce their decisions - especially when it comes to a country that won't listen.

Ivan Fedotov was a seventh-round selection of the Philadelphia Flyers in 2015. He has been playing primarily in the KHL since. In 2021-22, he backstopped CSKA Moscow to the Gagarin Cup (the KHL's version of the Stanley Cup) in what was widely considered a "breakout" year. Following this, in his last year of eligibility, Philadelphia signed him to a one-year entry-level contract (ELC), with the intent of bringing him to Philly and seeing if he could be a good enough goaltender at the NHL level (presumably to be the backup to Carter Hart) or even the AHL level. This is where things get screwy.

Fedotov is arrested shortly after the ELC is signed under the "charge" of avoiding the Russian army draft (understand that this was most likely a politically motivated arrest). He spends the next year at a fairly remote Russian military base, only communicating with the Flyers once in this entire year. He was allowed to continue training part-time, but not to the level he could otherwise have. So the ELC slides one year.

In the summer of 2023, Philly tries to get Fedotov overseas again... only to find that he's signed a two-year deal with CSKA Moscow. Now, the NHL and KHL used to have transfer agreements, but the NHL cut these agreements after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, Fedotov has two contracts, and he clearly can't play in two places at once. What happens?

The IIHF steps in, and decides that Fedotov's ELC with Philly should be honored - and that he and CSKA Moscow were not allowed to sign a contract with the ELC in place. They ban Fedotov from playing for 4 months and CSKA Moscow from being able to sign non-domestic players (international transfers) for one year.

Before I continue, something to be aware of with sports in Russia: certain teams are sponsored by the state and oligarchs far more than others. This is true with Russian soccer and also true with Russian football. CSKA Moscow, in particular, is one of the most-supported teams and is notable for its ties with the Russian army. Its dominance during the Soviet era was because it could literally draft the best hockey players (and I mean draft as in draft like for the army). It's currently owned by Rosneft, an oil company that's majority owned by the Russian government. (SKA Saint Petersburg is another of these highly-supported teams, for what that's worth.)

So CSKA Moscow, sort of predictably, flips off the IIHF. And starts Fedotov. In their first game. The IIHF can't really do much - it hits CSKA Moscow with a 5000 CHF fine (laughable) and threatens to refer it, and Fedotov, to the IIHF Disciplinary Board if they keep doing it. They keep doing it. Of course. The KHL's president claims that the 4-month ban threatens Fedotov's Russian constitutional right to work and that they will thusly disregard the ruling. As of November 2nd, Fedotov is still playing in the KHL - he just recorded a shutout, actually.

The Flyers really can't do much, outside of pressure the IIHF, which has little concrete power, to levy more punishments (and the IIHF has gone quiet about this too). Philly could try to, theoretically, smuggle Fedotov out of Russia a la Malkin, but you can only imagine what the Russian government will do to Fedotov and his family if he tries to defect. Especially because Fedotov's what, 26? 27? And goalies don't tend to have a long shelf life. Even if he came to the States, and played some games in the NHL, would those precious few years be worth the wellbeing of him and his family? Probably not. Again, since the NHL and KHL no longer have a transfer agreement, Philly and CSKA Moscow would have to come to terms on their own - and CSKA Moscow isn't keen on giving up their current star tendy to play in likely the AHL.

And remember, Philly also has Matvei Michkov now. Whose father recently died under "mysterious circumstances". And it's rumored those circumstances had to do with Michkov's father trying to terminate his son's KHL contract to send him to America sooner. That's also a factor here that must be considered - is it better to play nice with the KHL now and give up on Fedotov to be able to bring Michkov stateside?

The situation is incredibly complicated; unfortunately, there seems to be no easy end in sight, and probably very little chance of Fedotov seeing NHL ice in his career. The war in Ukraine also complicates this, and that is currently locked at a stalemate, so... good luck there.

Alright, that's my little lecture. If you need anything else, do DM me! I can see what else I can do as well :)

Devils Acquire Kahkonen from San Jose | RELEASE

New Jersey sends Vanecek and a 7th-round pick in 2025 to San Jose

Kahkonen - 1920x1080

By

Devils PR

@NJDevils NewJerseyDevils.com

4:30 PM

The New Jersey Devils announced today that the team has acquired goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for netminder Vitek Vanecek and New Jersey’s seventh-round draft pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. The announcement was made by President/General Manager Tom Fitzgerald.

Kahkonen, 27, joins New Jersey after spending parts of the last three seasons with San Jose from 2021-22 to 2023-24. The 6’2”, 215lbs. goaltender was traded to San Jose from the Minnesota Wild on March 21, 2022. Kahkonen began his NHL career with Minnesota and logged his NHL debut on Nov. 26, 2019, in a 3-2 win at New Jersey. He spent parts of three seasons with the Wild (2019-20 to 2021-22), and owns a career 48-63-15 overall record with a 3.36 goals-against average (GAA).

The native of Helsinki, Finland earned a career-high 16 wins and two shutouts with Minnesota in 2020-21, which set a franchise record for the most wins that a rookie goaltender earned in a single season. Additionally, he recorded a nine-game winning streak from February 18 to March 16, 2021 which marked the fifth-longest stretch that a rookie goaltender earned in NHL history.

Before his NHL experience, Kahkonen spent parts of two seasons with Minnesota’s American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate in Iowa from 2018-19 to 2019-20. He posted a 25-6-5 record with Iowa in 2019-20, while his 25 wins and seven shutouts ranked first for all AHL netminders. Additionally, his .927 save percentage and 2.07 GAA ranked in the top five for AHL goaltenders in 2019-20. He then earned the Aldege “Baz” Bastien Memorial Award as the AHL’s outstanding goaltender for the 2019-20 season.

Born on Aug. 16, 1996, Minnesota selected Kahkonen in the fourth round, 109th overall, in the 2014 NHL Draft. The Finnish goaltender also represented his home country at the International Ice Hockey Federation’s (IIHF) U18 2012-13 and 2013-14 World Junior Championship (WJC) and helped Finland win a Bronze Medal at the 2012-13 tournament. He then earned a Gold Medal with Finland at the 2015-16 WJC, after posting a 4-0-0 record with a .909 save percentage and 2.52 GAA.

Kahkonen was teammates with current Devils forward Timo Meier in San Jose from 2021-22 to 2022-23.

reminder for folks watching world juniors: the iihf has canceled all men's world championships below the top division (u18, u20, senior) and all women's world championships except for the top division senior tournament for "player and staff safety." by allowing the men's top division world junior championship to be held right now, one of two things must be true:

1. there actually was a way to safely hold the other tournaments but the iihf didn’t care enough to put in any effort for tournaments that don't turn a great profit (a great follow up to the doorbell cam debacle of the 2020 women's world u18 championship)

OR

2. there actually isn’t a safe way to hold an international tournament right now and the iihf is willing to risk the lives of a huge number of people as long as it profits the iihf

both of these options reflect how little of a fuck the iihf gives about anything that isn’t the iihf making money – they're really the worst and an embarrassment to the game. i'm begging y'all to watch the games illegally. don't let the iihf make more money by acting without a care for athletes and others involved in the world championship while simultaneously flipping off the women's game and all of the players from places where hockey isn't entrenched (ie. where it is GROWING)
