Rafikov still has a valid KHL contract for next season.
Barring any special out clauses he negotiated in, he won't be able to get out of his contract unless
1. team terminates his contract
2. someone buyouts his contract
It is not uncommon for KHL players to buyout their own contract. Even been rumored that some NHL teams have paid to buyout KHL players out of their KHL contract (i.e. Radulov)
