$1.5 million may not seem like a lot but keep in mind that KHL salary is essentially tax free.
$1.5 million in the KHL is equivalent to roughly $3 million in NHL salary.
But this is par on course for an unsigned Russian player. Rumors that there is a KHL offer always appear. Gives the players some leverage with NHL teams whether true or not. For example, there are rumors that Kucherov has a significant KHL offer on the table.
