Isnt there a transfer agreement between the khl and the nhl? Isn't compensation 300k?
Who cares essentially?

I know you're probably being facetious, but everything goes on the back-burner when it comes to Olympic hockey.

The thing is.. we didn't do anything that is covered by the transfer agreement. We voided his contract and he decided to go play in the KHL.

We just had Burmi defect to the KHL. Not the end of the world. It's going to happen.
I am more concerned about how many more Russian NHLers are going to go this route. Unfortunately if this becomes an increasing trend, there may be fewer Russians drafted into the NHL in the first place in the years ahead.

The owners broke their contract with Kovy twice since he been in the NHL. Lost a peak year and entire years pay, then had a 24% pay decrease, lost half the year when he justed started to get his pay day, and then had escrow increase with no gurantee of getting the money back.
The more I think about it I don't blame Kovy from quitting and going to the KHL.
We had a HOF caliber winger getting paid 6 million, 6 million, and 11 million (locked out half the season) for his age 27 - 29 seasons.

the CBA ran out both times so technically the owners didnt break a contract with him.

This all the way, with out a doubt i don't care who is on our team, its my country and nothing will change that..
unless Miller is the goalie, i will find a new country.
Please - how about these special buyouts? They are only getting 66% of their contractual salary over double the length.
Best thing about an improving KHL is the threat against lockouts by the greedy owners.

Or you could be like a Rags fan in NJ and root for Canada since they have been "playing hockey longer" and have more "tradition".

the CBA ran out lol, that's like saying the union broke his contract. Sounds ridiculous because that is ridiculous.
buyouts are a breach of contract? They pay the player to not play, even if you claim a marginal amount of the promised contract, it still pays. Where do we get the team get compensation for the player to break the contract? The answer is nowhere, until they make the new team pay with compensation, or force the player to play with a gun - which isn't possible so the former will suffice.
I don't think that is how a buyout works. The player gets their money instantly and the caphit is spread out over time. So I think you're making things up.

All valid reasons. Except he waived the right to pursue those reasons when he signed a 15 year contract. All things he should have considered 3 years ago when UFA and acted appropriately whether that mean going to the KHL then or signing a shorter term contract. There's no excuses for getting yourself into a commitment you later regret.

Miller is right now one of the most overrated goalies in the world (He's good but enough of this ''Top 5'' crap already)
It will be Quick starting. Miller might be backup, but I doubt starter very much. Speaking of that situation, I don't get all the ''Canada will trade Stamkos to the USA for Miller'' talk. If worst comes to worse they have Luongo still. Luongo is as good or better than Miller. Why can't he start for Canada? He won the gold with them.

I bet the US goalies will be Quick and Schneider, Miller hasn't exactly shown much since Vancouver. Marty's not going to be selected to Canada with Crawford and Luongo both ahead of him.
Devils on Olympic teams (my prediction):
Elias (Czech Republic-C)
Schneider (USA)
Zidlicky (Czech Republic)
Larsson (Sweden)
Zubrus (Lithuania-C)
Greene (USA)
Loktionov (Russia)
