Salary Cap: Zaitsev's next contract

[Canada4Gold]

Do his pro seasons in the KHL not count? If so that's awesome, didn't realize that.

KHL seasons don't count, and unsigned RFA's still need to be protected so even if he needed to be protected not signing him would still have us needing to protect him. Las Vegas is allowed to select unprotected RFA's

So signing him or any RFA would have no impact on their expansion eligibility.
