$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.

I believe there is a flat 13 percent income tax for all Russian citizens and 30 percent for non citizens.
