Totally unrelated, but it has always confused me why the KHL uses the Latin alphabet for their jerseys when literally everything else is Cyrillic.

Nope. And there seems to be a ton of confusion on if he can still extend or not before the offseason.

Sure would be awesome to get him over here this spring and see him in a Wild sweater.

I don't believe he has signed yet, but I do believe he can still re-sign with his current team.

I wonder if big brain Billy could swing a Yurov for Nick Foligno trade. We’d have all the grit then

Loan would mean signing a contract with MN, if he signs with MN he'll likely play in MN instead.

Not interested. Sounds like he's just trying to burn ELC years for nothing. KHL camp/season starts before the NHL does.

Yes, but it goes both ways: Yurov gets to burn a year and the Wild in return are getting a guarantee that he will be reporting for 2025/26.
Slide years are fine for loans, but years that count need to be controlled by the NHL club. To have him under contract, counting on the 50 man roster, and not have him as a callup option is a wasted roster space (Firstov this year). It's time for him to learn NA hockey, team systems, get over the culture shock, etc.

The issue is that he can then use KHL as leverage and say like 'Ok, then I'm signing in the KHL through 2025/26 and will be signing the 2 year ELC (instead of 3 year) after that anyway'.
That's fine with me. He can rot in the KHL forever for all I care.

Oh, sorry Mr.Fletcher, didn't recognize that is your account lol.
Do you have a weird moralistic position about players obeying the spirit of the CBA or just broad anti-russian sentiment related to world events?
Either way this is just business and entertainment, I dont take it personally but ymmv.
I’m not sure how it makes any sense to sign him if he’s not going to be playing here. If he signs, wouldn’t the Wild need to “approve” the loan back to the KHL? That sounds like something they would not do.
I’m also really confused as to how KHL contracts make it so players can’t sign with your NHL team, but a player like Firstov can just up and leave for the KHL while under contract here.

Firstov's case is also a loan, so at least the formal approval from the Wild was there.

I'm confused. Does he want to play in the NHL or not? Is he looking for a guarantee that he won't see any AHL time? What does he want?
