The KHL came out today and said they would not let players with current NHL contracts to play in the K after the NHL starts. It wil be interesting to see where this goes.

Of course, I meant "can you blame him" because the Islanders suck so bad.

They'll never improve if even their average, past their prime players can't be bothered to play for them. It is a shame the way this franchise has been run in the past XX years.

About the KHL, even Kovalchuk was considering remaining there. I have nothing against Russians playing in Russia, but when thay have an NHL contract, they have to honor it. GMs, after all, put effort into drafting/signing/trading for them.
