Hmmm... toil on the third/fourth line for 10 minutes a game in the NHL? Or stay "home" and make 5.1 million a year in the less physical KHL? Not a tough decision...

EDIT: Apparently it's 5.1 million over three years (or 1.7 per year). Still more than he would have made if he re-signed in the NHL... I wonder what that equals once you take into account taxes etc.
