KHL contracts run through the end of April each year. Players continue to report to the team and receive paychecks even if their teams do not make the playoffs or are eliminated earlier. A player becomes a free agent on May 1st of his last year under contract. The player’s free agent status will be either restricted (RFA) or unrestricted (UFA) – depending on his age, which is defined by the player’s birth year (e.g all players born in the calendar year 2001 are considered 11 years old for the upcoming free agency season – unless child labor is finally abolished in Russia).
