The following statement was issued by the Kontinental Hockey League today in Moscow:
The Kontinental Hockey League was surprised with National Hockey League vice-president Bill Daly's recent statement, published in the Detroit Free Press on July 30, 2009. Commenting on the registration of Jiři Hudler's contract with the KHL club Dynamo Moscow, Mr. Daly said, "The NHL respects the terms of individual player contracts in other leagues. the KHL has chosen not to respect NHL contracts."
However, on July 29 the NHL's St. Louis Blues announced the signing of a contract with American defenseman Bryce Lampman, who has, in fact, a valid and registered two-year agreement with the KHL club Amur Khabarovsk. As a result of this action, copies of the contract have been sent by the KHL to the NHL and the International Ice Hockey Federation.
The Kontinental Hockey League expects to receive an official comment on the situation from the National Hockey League and the International Ice Hockey Federation.

I’ve been waiting for all of this to come to a head since the KHL was announced.
The Swedish Elite league knows to send their best players over here eventually. I’m interested to see if this leads to the KHL trying to buy the Coyotes and moving them to Moscow.

Well…that’s an interesting (and rather narrow-minded) way to phrase it.
For the record, I don’t believe there is an official transfer agreement between the NHL and Sweden at this time either.
