This seems like very bad news. Not specifically for Fedotov but for the greater relationship with Russian drafted players. Or I’m illiterate and my comprehension skills are lacking.

“A six-month suspension from playing at the club level (which shall be served upon his return from the NHL to any club under/within an IIHF Member National Federation jurisdiction).”
So all the Flyers have to do is just keep him on the roster? Or does he have to return to his home country until 2026?
