The KHL instated a new rule in which one "returning Russian NHL player" won't count against a given team's salary cap.
National team coaches must deem a given player "worthy" before earning such an exclusion. Slava Malamud reports that it will give richer KHL teams the opportunity to spend big on free agents such as Alexander Radulov and Alexander Semin.
