Do other Euro leagues have limits on the number of import players? Are there just not enough roster spots to go around in the leagues not operating under the auspices of a tyrannical ####head?
I also wonder if there is a bit of pride/ego at play...these guys probably could play in the AHL, too.

Russia may do a lot of bad things, but rounding up Western athletes to use as pawns in prisoner swaps has not been one of them.

I never got into the weeds on that story, but the entire point of this thread is that we should be skeptical of Russian 'due process' and their legal system in general.
