Confirmed Signing with Link: NHL-to-KHL Free Agent Transfer Thread

[Caser]

Thank you, I saw Sustr but couldn't find anything for Murphy. Do the Ducks still own his rights?

Well, he was contracted with the Ducks this season after being traded from Arizona and is far from the UFA age, so I guess they can retain his rights if they want to by qualifying him.

Yeah if they give him a qualifying offer. He is a 23 year old (24 in July) RFA, so they will retain his rights.

Just checked and really there is nothing official about it at least for now, I trusted eliteprospects, but they only have Eronko as a source for that. I will remove Hyka from the table until there's something more official.

I agree I believe Elite 100%...they don't put something on there unless it's confirmed. Could they have made a mistake? Sure but I think it's just that he wants to concentrate on the cup run and didn't want it out there so soon...maybe I'm the one who's wrong? We'll see in a couple of weeks.

They put things that are unconfirmed as well, however, they'll typically label it as a rumour, if that's the case.

Jeremy Smith, previously contracted to NYI, has signed with Kunlun.

 

[Caser]

Interesting that Kunlun have also signed LAK goalie coach Dusty Imoo.

any news on Scherbak ? he is still in Québec right now.

Couple of days ago Russian journalists (Eronko, Zislis etc.) were pretty confident that he will sign with the Avangard.

 

[marciiauzii]

Sportsnet in Russia is reporting that the deal for Scherbak has been done for a while just need to wait till July 1st to announce it.

Brooks Macek from the Vegas system has been signed by Avtomobilist.

 

[Caser]

I actually asked Hyka if this was true and he said no,and added that he didnt know where this got started...either its false OR he doesnt want it out because hes focused on the Wolves Calder Cup run.Guess We'll find out in time.

Tomas Hyka to Traktor Chelyabinsk transfer has been officially confirmed now.

 

[CupInSIX]

Tomas Hyka to Traktor Chelyabinsk transfer has been officially confirmed now.

Guess Hyka was lying

 

[IslesNorway]

So there's a KHL team in Beijing?? How crazy is that!

 

[Caser]

Stefan Elliott from the Senators has signed with Dinamo Minsk.

 

[Hunn]

He is going to look even slower on the big ice lmao.

IIHF is moving all its competitions to NHL rink size from next season on.

2 KHL teams (Amur Khabarovsk and Admiral Vladivostok) are already playing on NHL size rinks. Several more are switching next season: Barys Astana (confirmed), SKA St Petersburg, Avtomobilist Ekaterinburg, Avangard Omsk (not confirmed yet).

8 KHL teams are playing on, what they call, "Finnish" size rinks, intermediate between NHL and international ones.

So, it seems that big ice is going to be phased out pretty soon in favor of standard NHL size rinks everywhere.

Spencer Foo signing with Kunlun is now made official.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Blizzard warning in effect in St. Petersburg

 

[Caser]

Nikita Scherbak signing with Avangard Omsk is finally officially confirmed.

 

[Remember2004]

Spencer Foo signing with Kunlun is now made official.

So if he decides to come back after 2022, would he have to sign another contract? Or would the Flames hold his rights? I still see a lot of potential in Foo.

While the Flames have qualified him, it means that they will hold his RFA rights just for the next two years, until he is 27.

Hate this idea

Huh, i remember a lot of hype around Foo and he seemed to do decently in Stockton but what an odd career move. Perhaps he just wasn't sensing any chance for him to crack the main line up? Better pay? Is the Olympics really a primary motivator?

 

[Kshahdoo]

Does it mean, the next step is going to be Foo accepting Chinese citizenship and will play at the Olympics, I wonder.
