American striker “Salavat Yulaev” Alexander Khmelevsky told how he felt about his KHL contract becoming cheaper due to the rising dollar.
According to , Alexander Khmelevsky in the spring signed a new one-year contract with Salavat Yulaev for 57 million rubles. That’s $760,000 at the mid-March exchange rate (75 rubles to the dollar). Now Khmelevsky’s dollar contract is 606,000 at the current exchange rate (94.4). The legionnaire himself came to Ufa from California, where his home is.
– Are foreign players who sign a contract in rubles very worried when the price of the dollar doubles? The salary goes down.
Why would I lie? Of course, this is an unpleasant situation, but there is nothing you can do about it. If you signed a contract, then you signed it. How much money I had, I have so much. So you had such an agreement. We sign the contract in rubles, not dollars. And we agreed with that from the start.
“Deal, as they say in America.
– They say agree or not agree. Even the American TV show is called that. Either you make a deal or you don’t.
Khmelevsky scored 48 (26+22) points in 67 games last KHL regular season, adding to them 5 (4+1) points in six playoff games. The player’s NHL rights belong to San Jose.
