The IIHF has taken some moves in regards to Russian players, and their ability to to leave the KHL, which could impact the Blackhawks 2024 Draft decision.
As we all know, Fedotov's contract was tolled, while he was serving time for his situation with the Russian army. He wasn't allowed to leave Russia, while the KHL and CSKA Moscow kept him there for another year, after his detention.
According to fine's imposed, and a transfer ban on Fedotov, it seems unlikely Fedotov will be playing for the Russian National Team anytime in the future:
This presents complications for the NHL and the Blackhawks, as the Flyers and the Hawks both have prospects in the KHL, which they would like to bring over in the future, such as Roman Kantserov, Illya Safonov, and if selected Ivan Demidov, who currently have KHL contracts, with term left on their deals.
The IIHF's latest ruling, it could impact a player's decision to leave in the future, along with their ability to play for their National Team, and could cause a lack of motivation to make the jump as well.
