Problem is, you make it sound like finding a decent club is an easy task which it really isn't for young guys with no resume. VHL teams are limited to 2 imports. DEL2 and such leagues mostly are stat watchers who poach reasonably successful vets from certain leagues they know well. If you are starting from scratch you will end up playing in some trash league which will do nothing to your development.
Kalnins is another good example of that. After Metalurgs collapsed those guys had nowhere but trash tier to go. And still Kalnins, Skvorcovs and Alisauskas have made it to the KHL level. Siksna might as well, one day. Kuzmenkovs, who was maybe the most talented of the bunch, ended up scoring 3 PPG in the 2nd Latvian league. Dinamo's collapse would have the same effect only on a larger scale.
