They are going to keep Raddysh IMO hes close with Bedard off the ice and is good enough for that 13th spot at league minimum.
not very player they sign has to be in the NHL. some can be signed as insurance against injury and start the year in the AHL
there are only 3-4 players making over a mil in the KHL and they are just over. IE about $1 mil even
I’d renounce Entwistle and R. Johnson. Re-sign Raddysh and Anderson for peanuts. Give yourself about 16 forwards that you’re ok with, to leave a couple of room for injuries. If you have perfect health, start the waiver exempt guys in the AHL unless they make themselves impossible to send down and go from there.
This list of three years ago shows around 80 players making enough to be around $1 million usd and it’s not taxed. With Zaitsev’s nhl experience and the fact that prior to a few years ago, khl teams were outsourcing a lot of DMen to euro imports that left the league, I think he’d be in demand. The lack of tax is effectively a forty percent boost on his salary. If tie goes to playing at home in top of that, I think he’d be looking at around $2 million to stay in nhl. Given his age, there is no incentive to take any lower and hope for a bigger deal next time.

Three years ago they weren't actively fighting a war. The KHL fell off hard.This list of three years ago shows around 80 players making enough to be around $1 million usd and it’s not taxed.

Новый рейтинг зарплат КХЛ. 85 самых дорогих хоккеистов лиги
Публикуем зарплаты ведущих игроков КХЛ сезона-2020/21.
The League is fine economically. Big arenas, well sold crowds, good tv deals. The KHL lost some Euro imports but isn't in a bad place.
The league is definitely stable but it definitely isn't paying what it did five years ago.
If anything you'd think it would inflate the price of talent if you're pulling from a smaller pool and that's been the topic of conversation.
Hard to say as salaries aren't generally publicly disclosed.
I believe they can play wherever they want, the KHL just pays better than every league that isn't the NHL outside of maybe the Swiss and it's home.
Yeah someone did I honestly can remember who. I think it was Chelly. Anyway, all in good fun anyway. You didn’t say it.
Pro athletes get work visas much quicker than normal citizens. Russians aren't playing in western Europe because they can't they're playing in Russia because it's home and it pays better. I could be totally out to lunch on this but that's my understanding of the situation.
That’s exactly right. There is no reason for a Russian to play in the SHL or Liiga. KHL has always offered better salaries. NLA for imports is the only comparable. Russians will leave the KHL for the NHL, and prospects will often play in the AHL, but other than that, will play in Russia. They are free to leave, there just isn’t reason for it.
Losing the crown jewel of Finnish hockey is a loss but Latvia is nothing. The KHL offering crazy money was sports washing.
i don't have to guess. it's down about 23% from 0.013 rubles on the dollar at the beginning of the SMO to 0.01 now. for context, that's up 23% from where it bottomed out at 0.008 almost exactly 2 years ago.
