Ufa, the Edmonton of Russia.

I won't remember this name played for the Oilers in 3 years.

It'll be interesting to see how these kind of signings work if the NHL returns to action in late summer...

The NHL - NHLPA Collective Agreement is an absolute mess. The only CBA, I can think of, that's worse is Canada Post's. You can have a pocket dictionary, but you could never make a pocket Post CBA. It's stoopid with a capital K. To have labour peace the company and union absolutely NEEDS flexibility to work through issues. /soapbox

The standard player contract seems to end on the later of June 15th or 48 hours after the the Cup is awarded, but there is a clause that allows the season to be ended by formal cancellation of the season (or league) which would end this year of the contract. I'm not sure there's a way to hold players in limbo (meaning: keeping them in the 2019-20 year of the contract) by extending the season beyond June without a massively complicated waiver being issued by the association.

There would have to be an agreement by the Players' Association to extend all contracts. Obviously the carrot is the escrowed money because right now the players are all forfeiting a HUGE amount of their salary - maybe as much as 25%. But for an individual player who wasn't making that much, and who may not get much benefit from coming back...I could see some people stepping away, especially in the case of someone like Granlund where he doesn't intend to play in the NHL next year.
