Overview

  • The deal, reported Sunday ahead of training camp, sends the 28-year-old goaltender to Columbus for a 2026 sixth-round pick.
  • There is no salary retention by Philadelphia, with Columbus taking on the full $3.275 million cap hit and owing $775,000 in actual salary this season.
  • The move clarifies the Flyers’ depth chart, with Sam Ersson and Dan Vladař expected in the NHL and prospects Aleksei Kolosov and Carson Bjarnasson slated for Lehigh Valley.
  • Fedotov joins a Blue Jackets goaltending group that includes Elvis Merzlikins and Jet Greaves, adding veteran competition for roles in net.
  • After arriving in the NHL in 2024 following a protracted overseas saga, Fedotov struggled last season with a 6-13-4 record, .880 save percentage and 3.15 goals-against average in 26 games.
