If it is signed, I wonder...will it improve the draft stock of several Russian prospects (including Cherepanov).

Transfer agreement on the table. Signing deadline Tuesday.

"We have an agreement in principle," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Saturday, after meetings with IIHF members. "Everybody knows that Russian participation has been an issue in our last agreement and we are certainly hopeful the Russians will see fit to participate in this agreement."

Russia Ice Hockey Federation president and Hall of Fame goaltender Vladislav Tretiak, who will have to convince member teams to agree to the pact, was not present at Saturday's meeting.

Call me Pejorative Slured, whatever, but, did the Russian's sign or not, if not, then what does the future hold?

Is there any chance that the situation could be resolved before the NHL draft?

Are negotiations open?

What's the deal?

Still without RSL signing the transfer agreement, here's an interesting article that explains why they may not be interested, from the RSL point of view.

In summary, a few hundred thousand dollars are a drop in the bucket WRT team salaries, and they (still) feel that any numbers proposed (to date) in the IIHF-NHL transfer agreement would not be proper compensation for top developed prospects.
