Some people said that Martin Jones had good chances to be traded by the deadline, but guess what? He's still a Flyer today.
However, it doesn't mean that he'll be back with the team next year. In fact, it's very unlikely. Chuck Fletcher explained recently that the injuries to his goaltenders in the minor convinced him to keep Jones. It wasn't the time to take unnecessary risk.
Fletcher will still have to find a substitute to Jones. And the best candidate is goalie
Ivan Fedotov.

He was picked 188th overall pick at the 2015 NHL Draft by the Flyers. Since joining the KHL, Fedotov has been fantastic in front of his net, registering a .927 save percentage and a 2.27 GAA.
The 6 foot 6 goaltender was imperial during the Olympics with the Russian Olympic Committee, recording 4 wins, a 1.61 GAA and a .943 save percentage.
He will battle with
Felix Sandstrom to be the 2nd goalie behind Carter Hart, but it seems like Fedotov is leading the race for the moment. We'll see that at the training camp in September.
Fedotov didn't signed a contract yet with the Flyers, but with the way he has been playing, he should be a member of the team rather soon than later.
