He left to one of the worst teams in the KHL to get top minutes and prove himself. So far, so good. His faceoff % is pretty decent and he's been a scoring machine. Hopefully his rights will be traded at the end of this season (KHL contract expires in April 2015) and he'll get another chance.

Does Mulletville keep his rights "forever". If he plays 10 yrs in the KHL then wants to come back would he still belong to that burning mess up north?
