<p>Seems as though Marc De Foy from ruefrontenac.com is reporting that there is interest by a KHL team to make an offer to Plekanec.<br />

<p>The KHL has recently recruited a few NHLers&#8230; including Jiri Hudler of the Detroit Red Wings.</p>
<p>I think NHL GMs will likely continue to be a little more weary on picking european players in the drafts because there is a strong possibility and even likelyhood that many young players will opt to play in the KHL.</p>
<p>There are differences for sure between the 2 leagues&#8230; and one that could help draw players is taxation on salary. Many contracts I&#8217;ve read about for players going to the KHL are tax free. This  makes a big difference for the KHL teams in helping them be willing to match or even outbid NHL teams for certain players.</p>
<p>RDS is reporting that Plekanec acknowledged that he did receive offers from the KHL but wished to play in the NHL.<br />
