Not sure. Probably would still be playing in the CWUAA since he didn't get drafted into the NHL, so it's a huge upgrade for him.

Kinda just goes back to the sham argument of the olympics as a whole.

At least for my friend, I don't think playing in the Olympics was his main goal for going over to the KHL. It's just something that came with the contract.
If someone offered me triple my pay (for example) to play in Russia for a few years, I'd do it too. We all got families to raise.
