I know what i would consider stupid...giving in to such demands.
He wants to play in Moscow....let him.
He wants to play in the best league in the world? Then he does it on the teams terms and negotiates a fair deal for both sides like every other guy.

Exactly, doesn't matter to him how or where he gets paid. Matters to Minnesota though. You get a budding superstar ROTY to sell jerseys on and you won't maximize your earnings by not negotiating with him?
Just like the NCAA players who walk, let em. Still not good for business.
