This undermines the credibility of this league in a major way at a time when teams are already hesitating to draft players coming up through their system.

The KHL had credibility before?
It has been a second rate league since its inception even though they get a couple of Russias best players taking a spin later in their careers.
$$ talks but that doesn't mean that entire fiasco of a league hasn't been corrupt since day 1. This is just more of the same, although more blatant.
Good work though Sporty. Hockey fans need to know how bad this organization is and how deep the muck runs.
Remember when there were claims that the "K" was a legitimate option for players during lockouts? Like they were a threat to completely undermine the NHL. Good times.
