I, for one, didn't realize they were dishing out those kinds of contracts in the KHL.

IIRC, Radulov is making something like $9m per, and Jagr was the highest paid player in the world when he was playing with Cervenka on Avangard Omsk, getting something like $12.5m per season.
Most KHL players make less than their NHL counterparts, but the top guys can bring in a lot of clams.
The Russian stars who started this season in the KHL were rumored to be making some ridiculous money as well.
