[KHL]CSKA Moscow total spending: 25 million dollars

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

25 Million Dollars is what CSKA Moscow spent this year to win the Regular Season title in the KHL, according to ProSport.ru, who in turn used the public information archives released by CSKA Moscow on their official site regarding their expenses. The world-famous Russian club, who is now up 2-0 in their first round playoff matchup against KHL newcomers HC Sochi, spent a total of 1.1 to 1.3 billion rubles, with the biggest single voice being Alexander Radulov's salary, which is estimated at 200 million rubles, or $3.2 million at today's rate (but about $6 million at the start of the year).

I would say that if the ruble rate was the same as before the drop, most likely we'd be at $40 million. SKA spends more. How does this compare to the NHL?

The NHL Cap is sitting at a hefty 69 million dollars ... with it going up to 73 (I believe) next season.

Not with the current CAD value.

It's more likely to be $69-71 MM, depending on whom you ask, Bettman or the more realistic.

I would love to see a $25 million dollar salary team in the NHL be the best team in the NHL, it would be like a hockey version of Money Ball lol.

"Total spending" as in payroll, right?

You realize why this is unrealistic, right?

If the ruble wasn't devalued so much and their payroll valuation held at $40million USD then it wouldn't reach the cap floor in the NHL.

Not that that's a bad thing, having other leagues that are clearly willing to spend money is good for all hockey players.

Nope.

as in final expenses for the year, including jerseys, cars, security, and arena costs.
