How does that work in this situation?

Yeah but since he signed a KHL deal he can't accept a qualifying offer.
Oilers just need to make him a qualifiying offer to retain his rights and I don't see why they don't.
Unsigned he won't count towards the 50 roster limit, and if he lights up the KHL his rights might have trade value down the line.
