Like players give a flying **** about Obama and Putin's little power politics games. They're going to go play hockey where they can get paid.

It sounds like it might be just a few specific teams that are affected.
Kind of sucks since elite hockey players have very limited places to play that can also match what their market value is.

Dunno about that. The market value of something is only what someone is willing to pay. If a player can't get what he thinks his market value is worth, then he's overestimating his own value.

Yea, but in the case of RFA's they are only able to negotiate with one party in the NHL.
You can't apply market economy principles to that.

I probably didn't choose the best words.
From my understanding, there is just a big drop off in salary after the NHL and KHL. It kind of sucks if option B is taken off the table for them.

To my understanding on this is, that its only players born within countries that have taken sanctions against Russia.

The U.S., Canada, Norway, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the European Union have all imposed sanctions against Russia. About the only country that produces significant numbers of hockey players that has not taken sanctions against Russia is – Russia itself.
