Sergei Fedorov Involved in Major Controversy

Sergei Fedorov, the former NHLer, was involved in a major controversy.

One of the big stories of the summer was about Ivan Fedotov, who signed a contract in both the NHL and the KHL. The IIHF ruled that he was suspended until December and CSKA is banned from making international transfers for a year.

Now, CSKA's head coach and former NHLer Sergei Fedorov has made a controversial comment on this issue.

Here's what Fedorov stated:

With everything going on in Russia right now, making declarations such as this is a bit insensitive. It's safe to say he didn't make many friends with that statement.

Fedorov decided to go against the IIHF's ruling, and it looks like Fedotov will play even if he's suspended.

This will probably generate more consequences for the organization...
