Now that we are well into free agency,many players are still unsigned,and with the KHL offering mass contracts to persuade players to come overseas.There's been much speculation that the KHL isn't done plucking some NHLers this summer.Some players involved on these rumors are:

Slava Kozlov

Miroslav Satan

Maxim Afinogenov

Ilya Kovalchuk

Alexander Frolov

Marek Svatos

Glen Metropolit

Robert Lang

What can you say. Either you want a ton of money and play in a sub par league or play for less with the best.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

Exactly.There's plenty more players that can be added to the list:

Christoph Schubert

Fredrik Modin

Freddy Meyer

Dainius Zubrus (could be bought out by New Jersey)

While true, there's also that for many of those who jump to the KHL, they're playing in their native country, closer to their family.

That is true also. Didn't think of that.

I say if they want Williams & Lang they can have them.

Especially the older guys like Slava Kozlov and Fredrik Modin who will be closer to their families.

With the KHL salary cap (even with the loop-holes and exemptions) there has to be a saturation point for the amount of players that can leave the NHL for the KHL for larger salaries. Hopefully this means that we will start seeing less good talent (players like Jason Williams are fine to go) going over to the KHL for inflated contracts. Does anyone know where the salary levels of the current teams can be found?

Didn't Williams sign with the Rangers?

That was jeremy williams

I can't imagine anyone from the NHL giving Jason Williams a call.

for real i say take them all! i hope they sign for big big money over there, watch the khl totally fold then next season the nhl gets flooded with talented young russians who will benefit by playing with nhl caliber players in the khl.

I don't have a problem with the useless ballerinas signing to go to the KHL,like Demitra.I hope Jason Williams goes to the KHL.I'm sick of seeing all these girlscouts that provide nothing on an NHL roster.
