Former CSKA Moscow goaltender Ivan Fedotov joins the Philadelphia Flyers
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The 過程 needed to 抽出する goalie Ivan Fedotov from both his ロシアの 軍の and ホッケー かかわり合いs and finally land him in Philadelphia - nine years after he was 草案d by the Flyers - remains 大部分は shrouded in 冷淡な War-時代 type secrecy.
Flyers general 経営者／支配人 Danny Briere stuck to silence on Fedotov's path to Philly as the goalie was introduced Friday to the team.
"We'll just leave the 詳細（に述べる）s out," Briere said.
What the Flyers are willing to 明らかにする／漏らす is this: they believe the 27-year-old Fedotov was 価値（がある） the arduous, 複雑にするd wait to get him and that he can make an 衝撃 負かす／撃墜する the stretch as they chase a プレーオフ a 寝台／地位.
"That's what gives us 信用／信任 he can come and help us," Briere said at the Flyers' New Jersey コンビナート／複合体. "He's been through a lot in his career. He's been through a lot in his personal life. It's a big part of the 推論する／理由 why we feel comfortable. We're excited to have him 船内に."
Fedotov was able to join the Flyers nine years after he was 選ぶd in the seventh 一連の会議、交渉／完成する of the 2015 草案 because he had his 契約 in Russia´s KHL 終結させるd Thursday by CSKA Moscow.

CSKA 発表するd the abrupt termination with one year remaining on it, 説 it keeps his KHL 権利s and "the club thanks Ivan Fedotov and wishes him good luck in (his) career."
Fedotov speaks 限られた／立憲的な English but 公式文書，認めるd several times he was thankful for the Flyers and the 適切な時期 to play in the NHL.
"Very difficult two years," he said. "Now I'm here and happy to be here and help the team."
Fedotov is under 契約 with the Flyers this season after his 初期の 取引，協定, 調印するd in May 2022, was （死傷者）数d. He 試みる／企てるd to come to North America in July 2022, but instead was taken by 当局 to a remote 軍の base in the 北極の Circle for a year of service.
Last summer, after 完全にするing that service, Fedotov 調印するd a two-year 契約 with CSKA. He played for the team this past season, appearing in 49 games through March 8, when it was 除去するd in the first 一連の会議、交渉／完成する of the KHL's Gagarin Cup プレーオフs.
Because Fedotov already had an NHL 契約 with the Flyers, the International Ice ホッケー 連合 last summer 支配するd in their 好意 and 許可／制裁d him and CSKA.
Fedotov was the starter for the ロシアのs at the 2022 Beijing Olympics when they reached the final and lost to Finland.
"We were always 希望に満ちた that he would come," Briere said. "It´s been a long road. I give him a lot of 支え（る）s to keep 押し進めるing and finally have the chance to come. Hopefully it´s a new 一時期／支部 for him."
Briere said he did not 推定する／予想する a 契約 拡張 to become an 問題／発行する.
Fedotov practiced Friday and should be 利用できる to play almost 権利 away. The Flyers - who lost starting goalie Carter Hart in January after he was 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d with 性の 強襲，強姦 - have Samuel Ersson as their No. 1 goaltender. To make room for Fedotov on the roster, backup goalie Felix Sandstr?m was sent to the minor leagues.
推定する／予想するd to be in the 中央 of a 非常に長い 再構築する, the Flyers are instead one of the surprises of the NHL. Under coach John Tortorella, the Flyers have 82 points and are 争う with Detroit and Washington for two of the final 位置／汚点／見つけ出すs in the Eastern 会議／協議会.
The Flyers host Chicago on Saturday, play Monday and have 支援する-to-支援する games next Friday and Saturday, giving Fedotov enough 適切な時期 to 攻撃する，衝突する the ice. He would be 適格の to play in the postseason.
"The coaching staff will decide if he plays or not," Briere said.
Fedotov can't wait to 押し進める the 厄介な geopolitical 問題／発行するs aside and just play ホッケー.
"I hope it´s a long time together," he said.
