Potentially, but is he even allowed to go? (He shouldn’t be if he is)

Seems like the wheels of justice can turn awfully slow for some.
I really don't think it should take years for a trial to get underway.
Not fair. What if these players are not guilty? Isnt it a trial? I know, they are probably not but there's a chance they are. In that case they should have a chance to continue working if they can.
Same thing just happened in Europe with Mendy from Manchester City (a soccer club). He was found not guilty. Now he is suing the Manchester City..
Man City to face Benjamin Mendy in court in mid-October as former defender sues over alleged unpaid wages
Benjamin Mendy launched legal proceedings against his former employer Man City at the end of last year, claiming unauthorised deductions from wages; hearing will take place over two days in October; Mendy was found not guilty of rape, attempted rape and sexual assault last year
Most of the people thought he was guilty. Turned out bogus.

Many perpetrators of significant crimes are not allowed to leave the country as they are a flight risk. I’d say this is significant enough.Not fair. What if these players are not guilty?

They have to live in Russia rest of their life's, sure go ahead. I don't see flight risk and they are too known. If they get a contract, I don't see problem.
Agreed but the KHL DGAF.
Frankly I think the NHL DGAF either and would keep those guys on their roster if there were little to no PR implications.

It's crazy how little we care for ethics in our sports.

To be fair it would be like that in 90% of working places, if not more. If they had the chance to hire someone with that kind of past who's good as his job without the PR issue they'd do it, especially with people like them that have almost 0 chance to repeat.

Speaking of ethics, this is how Polish fans of Unia Oswiecim (Auschwitz) welcomed Eisbären Berlin yesterday in the Champions Hockey League:

There's so much going on in that Ducks uniform that it reminds me of European uniforms with ads lol.
I don't mind the orange scheme with the mighty ducks logo, but that's a pretty miserable way to execute it. It's like there are parts of the original uniform still there, in the bottom of the socks, the bottom of the sleeves etc.

I like em, but I grew up with the mighty duck movies so I'm biased as f***. You could slap that logo on the side of a bottle soap and I'd chug that shit down.

Black pants would possibly look better but you'd be deep into Flyers colors territory.

Anaheim is kind of the San Diego Padres of the NHL:
Brown and Yellow > Brown and Orange > Blue and Orange > Blue and Urine > Blue and White

Holy shit.
Had to go and watch some of that back on ViaPlay and boy was the crowd disrespectful. During the German national anthem there was some shitty dance music played louder on top and the crowd just grooved on that. Dunno much about Polish hockey culture but that was a batshit crazy hockey barn over there.
I like the new Anaheim kit mostly because the previous iteration was literally the worst uniform in hockey. Also, they picked something other than boring-ass black or navy blue so good for them.
They should've just gone back to the original colors but oh well, this is still way better than the previous two they had.
That said, I agree, that stupid webbed "D" should not be anywhere on the uniform.
