It is possible there is more here than meets the eye. I was thinking and some of that might be paid to Fedotov to pay for his release to the NHL. Most of this deal is SB so getting it so he can forward whatever payment is required to Russia, it kind of makes sense now.
Russian State Duma preparing bill that will require athletes to pay compensation if they wish to change citizenship
The Russian State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports is preparing a bill that would rquire Russian athletes to pay compensation…russianmachineneverbreaks.com
Let's just say the deal should be 2 x $2.5M. If Fedotov has to pay $2M to Russia, then it doesn't seem that strange that he got as much as he did.
Lol.
According to Boris Mikhailov (on CSKA board), Fedotov had a 2 year KHL deal with the option of leaving for the NHL after the first year.
I think CSKA was more than happy to get rid of him and save money from his contract.
He was pretty bad this year.
