Russia is harder recently to figure out. I'm sure he's making six figures though. Almost sure of it, plus his housing, and in Euro teams pay there taxes first from salary so they get a straight salary(no taxes/teams pay them). Idk if it works like that in Russia. IDK Buches contract specifically but I can show you what teams spend and how that would translate back to a roster. I do know he just signed a new contract, which ment he likely got a raise, etc.
The Detroit Red Wings always knew it was likely to be later rather than sooner when they’d get their first chance to size up Russian prospect Dmitri Buchelnikov.

It’s often that people wonder - how much does one make in KHL? How much do teams spend on players?

KHL has more money/teams than SHL. That league can throw some weight around still vs most Euro leagues. They'd of been better to bring in eastern Europe though vs whatever they did by adding the Chinese team that has no Chinese players. Lol. Expanding into the largest market in the world doesn't seem stupid either though.
