Well...you got most of them. I heard a while back there was only 26 Russians in the NHL. If Sergei Fedorov at age 40 can get 14m a year tax free, imagine what Kovalchuk can get.
I'm reading conflicting numbers on the Fedorov contract but here's where the 14m came from:

"(Alexander) Medvedev is on a mission," said the GM, who requested anonymity. "He’s paying (Sergei) Fedorov $14 million this season so how much do you think he’d pay to get Kovalchuk? Twenty million a season? That’s what I’ve heard."
