"assigning" the player to the KHL. The tweet reads like all the "assignments" to the AHL, or ECHL. I've never seen an "assignment" like this to the the K during the season, could he be recalled to the Jets at any point, is this a three way agreement between the Jets/Telegin/CSKA?
happens quite often. jets have done it themselves actually. fredrik pettersson was assigned to khl for 2011-12 season.
This also pretty much guarantees that Telegin will never get called up to the NHL due to the length of a flight. If he was in St. John's at least he would have the chance to be called up if there was an injury and he was working hard.
players assigned to european leagues are assigned for the year. cannot be recalled.
