Really the ONLY card GMBG can play with Yurov is offering him a roster spot on the Wild and promising he won’t send him down to the AHL. The ELC deal is what it is, they can increase the signing & performance bonus structure within set limits, but NHL ELC base pay is locked in based on the position drafted & term is based on age…
IF the timing worked out when his KHL season ends, they could also sign him to his ELC this season and burn the 1st year (which sounds like they are doing with Marat)
My only worry about him signing another 1 year deal with KHL Mettelburg is that it gives more time for the KHL SKA Team Owner (one of the richest people in the world) to offer him just a ridiculous long term contract to stay in the KHL…he needs superstars to fill the seats in his new “Largest & most expensive Hockey arena in the World”….
Ultimately it’s up to what Danila wants to do…
