The Philadelphia Flyers solidified their goaltending for the upcoming season with a little Sunday morning trade. They sent netminder Ivan Fedotov off to the Columbus Blue Jackets and in return got actually something: A 2026 sixth-round pick. And maybe the best part of this whole transaction? The Flyers didn’t retain any salary.
That’s right. Fedotov’s entire $3.25-million cap hit is going over to Ohio and there will be not even a mention of the 28-year-old goalie in Philadelphia’s books for the 2025-26 season. It will be a beautiful sight. But, how does this move affect the Flyers’ salary cap this season and going forward?
