It's not usual for the KHL because this league is not as stable and developed as the NHL. 1 or 2-year contracts are the most common, but I hope if everything will be done right, the situation will change and there will be more long-time contracts.

If im correct, HC Slovan Bratislava signed Miroslav Preisinger to 7 years.

Well they have no consequences financially so they don't really matter. As individual KHL team budgets changes from year to year, and they need to be looked at every summer, you can't really commit even to your best players for too long of spells (not that I am fond of 6+ year contracts).
