Without wanting to sound rude, but if you had read my two other posts that were literally above it you should probably get the hint that this was about players leaving Jokerit, indicating an exit from the KHL before it was official. Also, I don't see the point in bringing up a 4 month old post/Tweet and ask for an English translation.
As far as I remember, the law doesn't apply to people born in the Soviet Union, as that would be unfair. So Miks can sign if he wishes.
It was a post made in jest - more showing off my (very limited) knowledge of the Finnish language.
Safety where? Riga? You must be kidding.
Anyhow, Latvian federation has announced they won't transfer his player card, if ever an official request comes. If he plays for Spartak, he is banned from national team - not only as player, also as coach/staff in the future.
Since judging by eliteprospects he last played in Switzerland, the transfer request should come to their federation, unless he played in Lartvia some time after that, of course.Safety where? Riga? You must be kidding.
If the law is right with being born in Soviet Union then why is he being banned? Like if they have an exception why apply the punishment?Safety where? Riga? You must be kidding.
LHF: 'It was a short-term contract and Indrasis has currently legally returned to his country's IIHF transfer register, thus the new club must ask LHF to register a transfer.'
The law has no such exception in place. Here are the amendments: Grozījumi Sporta likumā Interestingly, it also says that you can't work with sport agents in Russia - hadn't noticed that before. And would doubt that Indrasis didn't use Winners Hockey Agency for this deal.
I think it's too early to tell, could be any of the options. Some teams/players are obviously waiting for the situation to resolve, he might be one of those considering he hasn't signed anywhere else. Him actually playing for Admiral since unlikely at this point in any case, even if that isn't a mistake and his contract extension somehow carries over.
That proportion is ludicrous, what do you think players in Sweden play for, food tickets?
Having said that, 2nd part of your post is more to the point. He was legitimately terrible last season and KHL desperation kinda matches his desperation to earn the amount of money and have the status he thinks he deserves. Which, in actuality, he doesn't, unless he solves whatever issues he has that made him play like garbage last year. He is pretty terrible, definitely don't see it happening.
Latvia restored its independence 5 months before he was born so the exception doesn't apply to him even if it was there. Which it isn't.

Cap might not very relevant to a team like Spartak. From "insider" lists we know top players on Spartak made ~60 million rubles. That's ~700k euros in recent years. And those were guys like Lehtera (as far as I recall he was being paid 50 million) or Virtanen (60 kk), with actual NHL pedigree. Indrasis would be aiming and lucky to get 2/3 of that. Which is roughly the same as top SHL players get.
So how exactly do you explain why only top KHL teams can really afford top European players? Why does Neftekhimik sign sub .900 Tuohimaa? Why has there only been 1 Swiss player in the history of the KHL? They are fine making 1/5 salary at home? Why does someone like Ohtamaa keep coming back to Karpat despite being one of the best Ds in the KHL? He gets so homesick he's willing to pass on 80% of the salary? Because Liiiga budgets are even lower than SHL ones.
Might be even less of money in the end for him, as Spartak clearly wants to get that 1/3 of the salary as compensation for contract breach from him.
Well, Indrasis also wrote Spartak is mad at him for rejecting them. Frankly, that kind of pitty move kinda reinforces his story. It's obvious to everyone they aren't actually after the money (as in that case a sensible way would be some kind of settlement), just some victim card sprinkled with threats PR campaign, the Russian classic.
Ah yes, the Nazarov battle cry. Not entirely sure what in his actions could be defined as cowardly though..
Actually Spartak kind of stated that they don't want to do the PR stuff, but will do it the legal ways, but yeah, anyway, both sides can talk any stuff they want, it is the papers what matter here and so far we can't see any contract registered in the KHL database. On the other hand, if it will appear there, then it will mean Spartak has something to register there, so makes sense to refresh his KHL profile page from time to time.
