No, but I do think that it is technically against the rules for an NHL club to buyout a player on a KHL team. It would have to come directly from the player to make it legit. At least that is what I was told, but I don't know for sure if that is accurate. Something do with not giving the KHL incentive to hold players hostage to extort the NHL.
