Ruslan Salei has signed a one year deal with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the KHL. No financial terms were announced. Salei played with the Red Wings last season but did not get any interest from another NHL team when he became a free agent on July 1. His new head coach in Russia is Brad McCrimmon who was an assistant coach with the Red Wings the last three seasons. Look for Salei to play the year out in Russia and try to return to the NHL the following season.
