“I know the Fedotov AAV is higher than expected, but the contract was agreed upon prior to the player coming over from Russia. I'm told that the contract had to be a certain number to get Fedotov to come to North America. Not ideal, but understandable given the circumstances.“
This is a huge gambit as I’m guessing a big pile of USD also went to the Russian hockey federation and the club that owned the rights.
But if the gambit fails, it’s nice that it only costs money. A ton of it. Every other option costs talent and money.
