KHL and NHL don't have a formal transfer agreement. That allows the NHL teams to designate unsigned draftees playing in the KHL with defected status and indefinitely retain their rights.
SM-Liiga has a transfer agreement with the NHL, so the 20 or over applies to Granlund.
At least that's my understanding.
