Columbus Blue Jackets Add Goalie Ivan Fedotov in Trade with Philadelphia Flyers
Ivan Fedotov, 28, traded to Columbus Blue Jackets to alleviate Flyers' overloaded goalie roster; he posted a 3.15 goals-against average and .880 save percentage last NHL season.
- On Sunday, the Philadelphia Flyers traded Ivan Fedotov to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a 2026 sixth-round pick, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported.
- Facing an overloaded Flyers' goaltending chart, the trade removed Fedotov's $3.275 million contract, giving Philadelphia salary-cap and roster flexibility and avoiding placing Ryan Ellis on LTIR.
- Financially, the deal includes Ivan Fedotov entering the final year of a two-year contract with a $775,000 base salary, two $2.5 million signing bonuses, and a $3.275 million cap hit; the Flyers are not retaining any salary.
- In Columbus, Ivan Fedotov joins a goaltending battle for NHL minutes, expected to push for backup behind Elvis Merzlikins, while Jet Greaves is an internal contender as training camp starts Sept. 18.
