Why would Malkin go play in the KHL? He is already one of the highest paid hockey players in the world, and playing and dominating with regularity in the best league in the world. He has lived his entire adult life in North America, and if I'm not mistaken, close members of his family also now live in the US.

Being Russian does not on its own make him a flight risk. Being Russian does not also somehow disqualify him from being one of the best players in the world that EVERY team in the NHL would pay a king's ransom to acquire.
