After the terrible news was shared about Philadelphia Flyers prospect goaltender Ivan Fedotov who was detained and arrested in Russia for basically wanting to pursue his dream to play in the NHL.

Fedotov was punished while in custody for not wanting to remain in Russia and having no interest in military service. Fedotov was even poisoned while in police custody. Unfortunately for Fedotov, his NHL dreams look to be over as he's now having to go serve at a military base in the arctic instead of the NHL.

Unfortunately, this could be a trend for Russian players getting punished because of the NHL cutting ties with Russia after the invasion on Ukraine. We have now learned NHL Star from the Minnesota Wild Krill Kaprizov could be facing the same fate.

Kaprizov is wanted in Russia for fraudulent military records. This is definitely some worrying news for all Russian born players and teams wanting to draft players from Russia in the future.
