KHL Trades, Rumors and Free Agent Talk of 2013 Off-season

[cska78]

Maybe, but did you see Avto buying a draft pick last season? Now the club is managed by Vaisfeld, a real fan of the draft.

i think CSKA gave up to Avto, what Avto gave up to CSKA last year.

Lev is ready to offer $5M to Jagr.

It'd be a pretty smart move for them. They could move to O2 arena and sell it out on a regular basis. They'd gain a lot of new fans and sponsors + great TV viewership.

Lev also asked Zidlicky and Elias (source: championat.com)
But it looks like they will stay in New Jersey.

Proved transfers update http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/7115/khltransfers2013jan2235m.png

Lokomotiv and Slovan are my favourite - almost no leaving and a few players signed just to make the team stronger.

LEO Komarov saying now that he might not play for Dynamo after all.

SovSport reports Komarov refused to confirm signing w/Dynamo. 'I don't know if I'm gonna come over. I can't talk about it' (coffee) #Leafs #KHL

As far as I get him, he is just being careful about speaking of it. His agent is working on the transfer, and Leo just don't want to hurry. I think he will most likely play for Dynamo next season.

Dynamo were supposed to publish the contract officially yesterday but have not done so.

From allhockey.ru today (Google translation):

Striker Leo Komarov confirmed the return to the KHL.

- Thank you, "Toronto" for the organization, and to all my fans and partners - for the opportunities I was given. I have my reasons to go back to the KHL. I hope everyone will understand. I loved it in Toronto, I wish the team all the best and hope that one day I can return - wrote a hockey player, "tweeted."

Marko Anttila is rumoured to Kazan. He is big and unskilled forward but really good at protecting the puck in the corners. I'm not sure that he would be a good fit in Kazan though.

It is sad I have to repeat myself all the time, especially if ....

KHL club can publish information about signing of contract after the contract is registered by league. It takes day or two in most cases after signature. If Leo signed yesterday, Dynamo had no right to publish it ... and as you know, Russia had day off yesterday, so it is naive to expect that someone worked.

I think KHL works like DEL or any football league in Europe. Contracts have to be signed within certain deadlines but you can wait a long time until you make it public. For example often players in DEL sign contracts with another team in April for the new season and teams will inform the fans in July. Same in football when players signs contract in January and leaves club in June.

Nikolai Zherdev will be available for Admiral in re-draft

Rumors are - S. Fedorov is eying a come back...He's following into Fetisov's shoes)

Would he even be the oldest player in the current CSKA team?

He's also one of the softest "big" players ever. He was constantly outmuscled off the puck by smaller players at the Worlds.

 

[cska78]

i think him and Fetisov can have a good duo...Viktor Kozlow won't look out of picture either.

Kuznya gets 4 players for Arzamastsev. considering, they won't be able to hold onto him, it's not such a bad return.

Just curious, how can they afford to pay foreigners but can't pay their best defenseman?

because their best d-man probably wants more than all foreigners put together ugly face of russian foreigner limit.

Good trade all around. Metallurg will be able to get some cheap depth and hope that one or two of them can develop in solid KHL-ers. Also worth noting that none of four players are natives of Yaroslavl, and in fact Zyuzyakin will be returning to his home town.

I wouldn't be too surprised if three of them or maybe even all four become quality KHL players. Good trade for both teams. Loko get a great prospect without losing players of their KHL team while Kuznya gets good depth as mentioned above.

I am saddened by CSKA's expension draft available players, and especially by the fact, that Fedorov has protected Kozlov
