Yes that is the problem, Torts don’t like him. I believe that Briere made Torts play Fedotov. You’re right again, he had a bad period against Panthers and that set Fedotov back a month. If he had played he would be even father ahead, Torts for some reason doesn’t like the guy. Ersson had a great year last year but this year he is no better than the other 2 guys. It should be a fight for the number one job, but Torts won’t have that. You said that Fedotov sometimes looks awkward making some saves, does anybody remember a guy named Dominic Hashek (excuse my spelling) that guy looked awkward as hell but somehow he stopped almost everything and became one of the best goalies in the league. I’m not saying he will turn out like Hashek but he’s looked great and getting better by the game, Torts needs to understand that. I’ve said it on other forms, he’s done nothing with this team in almost 3 years, it’s time to move on from this clown. Fire Torts now!!!
Look, none of these 3 goalies is the sure-thing answer. The team isn't going to the playoffs anyway, so there's no serious harm to rotate all 3 to see who develops the best. At some point, there will be a trade, maybe 2. Especially if another team needs to replace an injured goalie in a hurry. I'm trying to be patient. Flyers have a lot of young potential, more at the AHL level, & a bunch of high draft picks coming soon. The worst thing Briere could do now is trade away some of these assets for another veteran over-priced 37-yrs old 'Peterson-type' journeyman. There are salary concerns with Sanhiem, Risto, Couts, & Laughton. They will have to weigh 'risk vs reward' & ask themselves if those players should continue in this rebuild. I like all 4, Couts has diminished the most. It's a tough decision & I don't envy Briere 1 bit for being in that job.

He should be the starter.
Totally agree, he should be the starter!!!
He's not an NHL goalie. Alexi Kolosov regardless of his personality is the better prospect

Send Kolosov to the ahl. He needs time. If he runs away, let him. Don’t need that mentality and holding the team hostage around.
Sayonara.
Ersson should be the starter for now.

The other NHL teams would love to steal Fedotov….he's got the tools , size , experience and mental toughness to become great.
Feds made some good saves … but it was ONE GAME. What's his season average now???
Kolosov looks like a bad nhl goalie while Fedotov looks like a pretty good to decent whatever the hell style he plays
Hasek was weird…he turned out OK (hoping for the best, we know he's no Hasek lol)
