Agreed. He would immediately become one the most promising RWers in the system and the only one with top 6 potential.

Even if he only puts up 40points, a 6'4", 22yr old winger is what the Flames organization desperately needs

You think the Canadian based teams pay players in Candian dollars also? Screw your head on right

The contracts are in US dollars but they may pay them in the Canadian equivalency, at least part of the money since they wouldn't want to be paying banks their transfer fees, or is there a way around that?

They wouldn't be paying retail exchange rates

Still pay taxes in all the other jurisdictions you play in and federal taxes. So not tax free but better than other places.

That idiot!

Selected just four spots behind Monahan, two spots before Max Domi.

Scary

I guess that Dallas wanted to pay him like a 30 point player and the KHL wanted to pay him like a star. I wouldn't chalk this down to Russian flight risk. He put up about half as many points as Radulov.
