After all Fedotov has been through the last couple years how can you not pull for him ? I hope he does great.
Love that angle Jason. I believe your rapport w Torts coming from supporting his and your passion for Dog Rescue has gotten the best info out of Torts and the man behind the mystique. He really opens up w you because he trusts you.
Thank you for your insights on Fedotov’s new contract and his development status aka pads/equipment and transitioning to the NHL. Interview was interesting given his command of language over the short period being in Philadelphia. Will he be staying in area to train with players who do their offseason training at the Flyers Skate Center?
Jason, timely interview, nicely done! Not sure about anyone else but the contract seems fair to me. This contract was two fold: honor commitment to the player coming over from Russia and build good will with Russian players. If this in any way helps with Michkov it is worth it.
I expected 2 mil. I remember some GM saying you can sign anyone for a year. It's a little more for a two year deal. It's hardly the end of the world. And it is based on his experience in the KHL and international which is highly touted and rated. It's a low risk high reward signing especially based on the fact that we're not pushing as a contender right now. Also I think Russian Hockey might see this as a sign of respect for their league and their talent. I think there is a lot of pride there and I think that this signing may be one of the reasons we're hearing Michkov's name being floated as being released early.
I wish he would've elaborated on what he meant by "cost of doing business" re: Fedotov's $3.25 AAV. Was Fedotov promised a ridiculous overpay (which is what he got) if he made it to Philly before the season ended? Something like that? Yes it's only 2 years but the point is Fedotov now earns more than twice as much as Ersson and Ersson worked his ass off for the Flyers this year. Fedotov's contribution was practically non-existent. The extra $2mil they overpaid Fedotov could've been better spent elsewhere.
Yeah, I have to say I do miss ya, man.😂😂😂
I have high hopes for Fedotov. This contract does not bother me in the least. If he makes the transition and performs well, awesome. If not, we lose games and get a better pick. Win-win.
He seems to be a very humble kid an people watching need to notice that we are qll the same . Humans an its cool to see how hard he tries to speak english . Wish the kid all the luck in the world hope he shuts up all the opinionated gum flappers. GO FLYERS
Kolosov is actually 22 but yea definitely not ready
42 games Erss 40 games Manutov Bol
Can’t the Flyers supply a translator for the guy? Unless he insists on sitting down without one I assume he would be much more comfortable conducting interviews until he is more proficient with English.
I LOVE THE KID HE DID WELL BUT I GOT A FUNNY FEELING THE RUSSIAN IS GONNA TURN INTO ONE HELL OF A GOALIE AND THE PEOPLE LOVE HIM THAT'S A BIG PLUS I'M ROOTING FOR HIM HES HAD A ROUGH RIDE TO GET HERE GIVE HIM A CHANCE IT WOULD BE A GREAT STORY LINE GO FED GO 👍
Flyers will have an awesome 'team'... until they sign high end talent.
I like fedatov I believe we will see why flyers drafted him years ago next year I see him pushing Sam for number 1 spot
Cap space doesn't really matter heading into next season. Next summer.....it really matters.
Jason people are so i a hurry to give their opinion these days is cause they are usually clueless an talk outta their A$$. Who cares about tgeir opinion . Unless you have done it yourself or seen it done 1st hand. Jyst like i was told as a kid . Keep your opinion to yourself unless asked for it. Keep up the great work . And listein to nothing that is not worth listeining too.
