The KHL, following practice and adhering to established principles, has reached out to the NHL to confirm Ivan Fedotov’s contract status.
Based on the information and documents received from the NHL, the League and the Club proceed on the basis that Ivan Fedotov does not have a valid and binding contract with an NHL club for the 2023-2024 season in the sense that was envisaged in the Memorandum of Understanding.
Therefore, taking into account the player’s expressed desire to play for CSKA in the Kontinental Hockey League, the League recognizes the legitimacy of Ivan Fedotov’s contract with CSKA for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 seasons.
