Rumor : Tomas Plekanec Going KHL?

According to ruefrontenac.com Marc De Foy, Tomas Plekanec's name is on a list of players that the KHL are planning to offer a contract in the upcoming days. The president of the KHL, Alexander Medvedev, was frustrated after the Altanta Thrashers has signed Joel Kwiatkowski who was already under a KHL contract. As a result, Medvedev now encourages KHL teams to offer contracts to various NHL players.

Ruefrontenac.com has also learned that Tomas Plekanec have thought about going to the KHL back when he was still with the Hamilton Bulldogs. There is a possibility that Plekanec would go to the KHL if the offer is good enough, since he has asked for salary arbitration a week ago.

The team that is interested in the services of Plekanec is the Omsk Avangard, so he could play next to Jaromir Jagr. They are also interested in Robert Lang and Mikael Nylander. Source
