I found a few mistakes for the Kings.

Caleb Jones signed in LA, not Vegas.

Also, can you somehow get rid of Edmundson for us?

No sane NA player should be signing in the K.

People have said this for a couple years now and yet everything has remained fine for the ones who have chosen to do so

A day is coming... just ask NA journalists.

Kinda silly. Signing in the K is a fantastic way to travel around Russia in relative safety. I would love to see Russia AND play hockey AND make money doing it.

Why would anybody want to do that? Safer at home.

I had Caleb Jones with Vegas all this time! haha thanks

The Edmundson signing was one of the more baffling ones for sure; the cap hit's maybe a wee bit high but it's that TERM. I thought it was a 3 year deal and thought "Well that's not ideal" then when compiling this went "Whoa! Four years?!" I'm also a little baffled where he's playing, presuming they go

Anderson-Doughty
Gavrikov-Clarke/Spence
Edmundson-Clarke/Spence/Burroughs
Englund

But they REALLY seemed to love Englund, so maybe they move either Gavrikov or Edmundson to the right?! I guess if he can injure one of McDavid or Draisaitl in the inevitable LA-EDM first round match-up with one of his crosschecks, then the money will be worth it!

Anderson-Doughty
Gavrikov-Clarke/Spence
Edmundson-Clarke/Spence/Burroughs
Englund

Mediocre defencemen excluding for Doughty and maybe Anderson.

-I changed things up a bit and dropped some of the unnecessary information like Age/Height/Weight and last year's contract details, I figure if you need that stuff CapFriendly is a click away and it makes things a little less cluttered and A LOT less work for me, haha.

wow, jinxed it…

 

[caley]

wow, jinxed it…

Puckpedia is a click away now! haha

I am Canadian born and raised, and lived in the same city all of my life. I have no connection to Russia in my family.

However, I spent a month travelling around Russia a few years back. Some really cool places there and museums to die for. Life there is complicated and unpredictable, which might make it scary. Day to day, it is easy to enjoy a good life travelling through- and I know, "until it isn't". But many parts of the place itself are beautiful and the people are completely likeable while you are there (if you can remove the politics of it all). It is just so sad it is run by lunatics who will kill you if you cross them.

Two former NHLers charged in world junior sexual assault case sign with teams in Russian league

Two of the five former Team Canada world junior hockey players awaiting trial for an alleged group sexual assault in 2018 have signed contracts with teams in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), according to the league.

Astana Barys, a team based in Kazakhstan, announced on Twitter the signing of former New Jersey Devils player Michael McLeod to a deal that expires at the end of May 2025.

The Belarus-based KHL team Dinamo Minsk also has listed on its roster Dillon Dubé, a former Calgary Flames player who, like McLeod, is among the five Canadian junior players facing sexual assault charges. McLeod is also charged with one count of being party to the offence.

I guess you did not read the article. The case is due back in court on Aug. 13 to potentially set a date for trial.

Two of the five former Team Canada world junior hockey players awaiting trial for an alleged group sexual assault in 2018 have signed contracts with teams in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), according to the league.
Dillon Dube is listed on the roster for Belarus-based Dinamo Minsk as being under contract through May 31, 2025, while Kazakhstan-based Astana Barys announced Friday that Michael McLeod has signed a one-year deal with the team.
Dube, McLeod, Carter Hart, Cal Foote and Alex Formenton were charged earlier this year in connection with an alleged sexual assault at a London, Ont., hotel in 2018.

They are all charged with sexual assault, though McLeod also faces an additional charge of sexual assault for "being a party to the offence."

McLeod, of Mississauga, Ont., played with the New Jersey Devils last season, while Dube, of Golden, B.C., played for the Calgary Flames. Both were granted leaves of absence in January and had their contracts expire at the end of the season.
