I realize that the KHL may pay more, but as winter mentioned, many of these guys are fathers and husbands first. That should override money every day.

Unless Tyler Ennis and his $32million earnings have 3 kids and an ex wife. $80k wouldn’t cover his annual child/ spousal support payments.
EDIT: I have no idea about Tyler Ennis’ personal life. Just using him as a hypothetical situation, one which anyone could find themselves in.
