Update: Ilya Kovalchuk has said that he is waiting to see the language of the new CBA before deciding what to do for the rest of the season.

According to Bob Mckenzie of TSN, a player who just returned to North America from the KHL says that KHL teams are putting major pressure and huge money on the table in attempts to keep NHL players from returning to North America.

I'm pretty sure smoke just came out of the ears of Gary Bettman among others.  Will have more on this as news comes out.
