The KHL SPC does not include a release-clause. Never.Maybe a two year contract with an out clause? Would be disturbing news if the intended timeline for Khovanov's arrival in the NHL was no earlier than 22-23, though. We are going to need C's sooner than that. If this is the way things play out, then it's a near certainty that Guerin will have to trade for a top 6C, probably using one of Dumba/Brodin as the main piece going back. Makes sense with the Seattle ED coming up.
I have trouble seeing Koivu and Staal being around for 21-22, never mind 22-23. As of now that leaves us with JEE, Rask...I can see the former being a 50 point C if given PP time...maybe...
Ugh. How did we ever get in such a mess?
