[Signing] Alexei Ponikarovsky signs with SKA of KHL


Recommended Posts

Couldn't find his KHL salary but this is the kind of player that's going to have to sign for league minimum just to stay in the NHL. Bet he makes twice as much there as he could here. Hard to blame any player for going home to play. (Before someone says "he's not Russian", yes, but he's culturally and geographically closer to home...)

One of the few KHL teams with lots of money.

Not sure who they've lost, but last year they had some pretty big named KHLers: Thoreson, Martensson, Makarov, Afinogenov, Artyukhin, Prucha, Fedor Fedorov, Dmitri Kalinin and Tikhonov.. Adding Kovy for a full season, and Poni? Gonna be a stacked team.

Last year they won the equivalent to the President's trophy, but made it only to the semi-finals of the playoffs.. with Kovy I bet they win.
