Sv: Apropå ingenting...
Deas: Så verkar de ryska oligarkerna ha stora plånböcker, om man får tro dessa uppgifter från Toronto Star:

"Several teams in Russia's revamped pro hockey league want to repatriate NHL all-star Evgeni Malkin by offering him a contract that would make him hockey's highest-paid player – by a wide margin."

"...the Russian teams are poised to offer the Russian-born Pittsburgh Penguins forward a multi-year contract worth at least $12.5 million (all figures U.S.) tax free per season, said a source familiar with the matter.

The offer would be equivalent to at least a $15 million per year in the NHL, where players have to pay state (or provincial) and federal taxes."

Att Malkin skulle ha erbjudits några sådana summor förnekas, i en artikel i Globe and Mail, av Malkins agent:

"However, Malkin's agent, J.P. Barry of CAA Sports, said he'd had no direct offers from any team in Russia and it wouldn't matter anyway because Malkin is not interested in going home to play.

"He's been focused, since Day 1, on doing an extension with the Penguins," said Barry. "We've had discussions with them, since the end of the playoffs, on a framework and expect to have something done with the team early in July."
