If Greige were to transfer to Avtomobilist, his proposed salary of 125 million rubles per season would represent approximately $1.35 million USD (at an exchange rate of ~92 RUB/USD). This salary would account for around 14% of Avtomobilist's salary cap (KHL's hard cap is 900 million rubles for the 2023-24 season). Given this, the team might need to make some roster adjustments.
Currently, Avtomobilist's highest-paid player is estimated to earn around $1.5 - $2 million per season. Stars like Vadim Shipachyov receive salaries exceeding $2 million. If Greige was indeed loaned to Avtomobilist, he might command this salary as a young, proven NHL forward.
If the transfer occurs, Avtomobilist's roster might undergo changes—either by releasing or trading players to free up budget space for Greige's contract. They might also target budget-friendly forwards like Dmitrij Yashkin or Nikita Soshnikov, or veteran players like Anatoly Golyshev (if returning from NHL/AHL) or Pavel Datsyuk-type mentors.
The KHL's salary cap and import-player rules could limit the number of foreign signings, so it's essential to verify the specific details of this potential transfer. For accurate updates, consult KHL’s official transfers page or team announcements. (Note: KHL salaries are often undisclosed; figures are estimates based on historical data.)
