What's currently happening in the KHL with Demidov isn't good.

They don't play him anymore because he refuses to re-up in the KHL...and now the word out there is they want him to sign a new contract so they can do like they did with Michkov last year and force the NHL team to pay them to release the player from his contract.

The Flyers may have created a precedent here.

I think its fair game, it happens all the damn time in futbol. Why would they want to lose an amazing player on a free when they can get 1 to 10 million or whatever it is.

And then what? Running into Dallas in Round 1.....

You don't get an easier 1st round unless you win the division but at least DAL is a step down IMHO.

Also, a WPG is a first round upset and you get home ice in the second round. Finishing higher matters.

If they want to get something, they should negotiate a transfer agreement like every other Euro pro league. This is not only blatant extortion, but they are spiting a young future superstar who has done nothing wrong in the process. Demidov wants to play in the NHL next season, as is his right when his contract expires. It's despicable that his club is punishing him for playing by the rules.
