Where does that leave the towering Ivan Fedotov? It looks like the Flyers have no interest in juggling three goalies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phillyhockeynow.com\/2025\/09\/14\/flyers-trade-ivan-fedotov-to-columbus\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fedotov was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a> early Sunday morning. He makes $3.275 million against the cap but only $775,000 in actual dollars following a signing bonus payment two months ago. Very low risk for the Jackets, who try to navigate their goaltending with a struggling Elvis Merzlikins and a young Jet Greaves.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago Hockey Now:\u00a0When Dustin Wolf signed a long-term deal worth $7.5 million per season, many were quick to point out that Spencer Knight was the next young goalie up for a new contract next summer.
