I don't think the KHL could stop him. There is no official transfer agreement and I have heard the contract law in Russia technically allows either party to cancel a contract with enough advanced notice (I can't confirm this though).
The NHL and KHL have a handshake agreement though where they agreed not to sign players from each other's teams. The KHL hasn't strictly followed it (recall Radulov), but I'm still not sure if the NHL would want to push their button over it.
