Do you think the recent lawsuits filed by teams in the RSL is going to affect the rankings and draft position of Russian players this year?
Yeaa like in the 2005 and 2006 and also u got just 2years to sign them after their draft
That part of the new CBA applies to parties to the IIHF Transfer Agreement. Russia isn't a party to the agreement. As far as I know, the rights status of Russian draft picks is determined by the old CBA, making it possible for teams to hold their rights indefinitely.
Even ignoring the said player reaching UFA age?
