According to the "Chempionat.com," Sergei Kostitsyn signed with Omsk "Avangard". Term of the agreement will be three years. Sergei Kostitsyn has played for Omsk club during the lockout. As part of "Vanguard" Belarusian striker scored 28 (9 +19) points in 27 games. Recall that Kostitsin Jr. was one-year deal with the "Nashville," but the club decided to buy out the contract Belarusian. "Predators" are required to pay 26-year-old striker to two million dollars over two years.

poile gets a bad grade for allowing us to have 3 million in dead space. won't matter, we won't sign anyone of importance.

The Predatorial's twitter account is reporting that the cap hit will count this year.

I am now less happy.

 

[PredsV82]

I'm nit certain that's accurate. If we bought him out then his cap hit will be 1 mil per year for two years, unless we used a compliance buyout then his cap hit is zero. But I really don't think we bought him out

Will await independent clarification from poile

I'm hearing SK74 heading to KHL but is not bought out. Will not count against the cap. #Preds will use his $ elsewhere.

Good

Any other sources confirming the mutual termination?

Poile himself said contract was terminated in the press conference.
