Holy shit
Ya no one is paying that. I hope he enjoys the KHL!
Well he certainly ain't getting a job in the NHL if he demands 9 million. So even if they won't pay him that in Russia, he'll end up there on account of no one will want him in North America.Don’t think Vlad and his oligarch and mafia Don buddies have spare USD’s to toss around at disgruntled NHLers these days.
Nowadays the KHL is moreso a refuge for players that either aren’t good enough for an NHL or AHL job, or bums like Brendan Leipsic or Mitchell Miller who’ve been cancelled/blacklisted in North America.
