Ladislav Nagy to Russia? Update: Confirmed

It's possible. Remember that reporter though? He's the one that started the Sundin-to-Vancouver shit storm weeks back.
As long as Nagy doesn't get signed by Vancouver I don't care where he ends up. The guy is softer than Salo!

UPDATE:

From Kukla's:

Left wing Ladislav Nagy views his decision to sign a $5.6 million, two-year deal to play in the Russian Super League as a temporary stop and not a long-term plan.

“Nagy fully intends to come back to the NHL if he can find a situation where he will be given the minutes in order to produce at the elite level he is capable of,” said his agent, Matt Keator....

“The level of talent in Russia is improving every year with top NHL players heading over there,” Keator said. “It has become a viable option for players to play at a high level and be very well compensated. As this league grows and matures, it will pose more and more competition to the NHL for players.”

Adiose!

Jason Krog contract 'suspended'

So Krog is not a Canuck yet, technically. The IIHF has suspended the contracts of Krog, Alex Radulov, newly drafted Nikita Filatov and Viktor Tikhonov, Tomas Mojzis and Fedor Fedorov pending reviews of their deals with their respective clubs. All 6 players are transfering between the Russian Continental Hockey League and the NHL, within which there is no tranfer deal done yet.
Radulov really got the ball rolling on this one when he reportedly signed a deal with a team in the Russian League but he was still under contract with the Nashville Predators.
Apparently Jason Krog was signed by the Vancouver Canucks after he reportedly agreed to a deal to play in the KHL Russian League. I was unaware of that.
So the battle begins.
