Vancouver? No — Fedotov is dealt from Philadelphia to Columbus for a 2026 sixth-round pick, freeing cap and reshaping the Flyers’ crease plan. His departure leaves Ersson and Vladař as the NHL duo with Kolosov and Bjarnasson in the Lehigh Valley pipeline; Fedotov’s two-season NHL stint included a 6-14-5 record with a 3.29 GAA and .874 SV%.

Fedotov’s North American future is uncertain, framed as an experiment that didn’t fully pan out. His status looms over the Flyers’ net plans, with potential for a return to the KHL if stability isn’t achieved, complicating the team’s long-term goalie strategy.

Fedotov's contract situation at $3.275 million for one more year may be too steep for a backup goalie. The Flyers may consider moving him to free up cap space, especially with Sam Ersson showing promise as the starter.

Ivan Fedotov, the Flyers' goaltender, delivered a strong performance with 28 saves, helping secure the win against the Predators.

Ivan Fedotov's future with the Flyers is uncertain as he struggles to prove himself, and the Flyers may seek a new goaltender this offseason.
