Of course, the fact that the KHL has serious revenue issues and that former players have publicly stated their paycheques have been months or late or never shown up at all certainly doesn’t help them.
The other thing that would be pushing players overseas is the new salary cap. Most of the guys mentioned probably feel they are worth contracts around 2 – 3 million, but teams won’t pay them that for the roles they fill anymore.
This small exodus of guys also makes me wonder about expansion – does the league really have enough talent to bring in Las Vegas this year, and presumably Seattle within a couple more?
