Foreign players leaving the KHL.

Isn't Foo's rights still owned by Calgary? Not that there'd be any great compensation attached.

He's had some solid years overseas considering the team he played for.

Yea, didn’t we qualify him and he went overseas?
Maybe we agreed to release them.

Foo's rights with Calgary expired when he turned 27

The signing likely spells the end of Foo’s time with the Flames organization. He’ll be 27 when his KHL deal expires, which would allow him to walk right into NHL free agency. The Flames can give him a qualifying offer on June 25 to retain his NHL rights for a year, but it wouldn’t impact his free agency status in two years.

Foo hated the Flames so much he moved to a different continent to avoid playing for them.

Foo went to play for Kunlun to be an Olympian. Even McJesus isn't an Olympian....

Can’t fault a guy for wanting to play closer to home. It was a family decision to leave China.

Alright! Always nice to see NHL players of Chinese heritage given how rare it is.

I pity the Foo who signs Spencer thinking he's a 40 goal guy.
