Do not have time for transaltion but basicaly it says that according to unofficial information is Hudler going to sign contract with Dynamo Moscow today. His press conference is today in the afternoon (European time ... -6 hours here compared to eastern time)

If all he wants is money then Russia is a good way to make that happen. However, i'd imagine quite a few teams would be interested in him and would offer more money than Detroit (albeit less than he'd get in Russia).
Update 10:08 AM: Per Hokej.cz: Hudler's Czech agent, Pavel Marsoun, says that the deal would last for two years, but he also confirms that negotiations will continue with the Red Wings, but his agent also yapped up the concept that Hudler could spend the next two years in Moscow with a strong Dynamo team and then return to the NHL.
Reports out of the Czech Republic indicate Hudler has signed a two-year deal with Dynamo. There is some uncertainty, however, if this is his just his Plan B if he is not satisfied with whatever deal he gets from the Wings.
"It's a real possibility he's going to take this (Russian) offer,'' Holland said. "He'd be taking a lot less money to stay in the NHL.''
What's confusing is that Hudler filed for arbitration on Sunday, indicating a strong desire to get a deal done with Detroit.
Holland said he not yet heard back from Hudler's North American agent, Petr Svoboda, but that if reports that Hudler had signed the Russian deal are true he would "go on the assumption that he's gone.'

Wow, I was not expecting him to sign overseas at all. Sucks for Detroit fans, but I don't see this hurting the Wings too much; they always seem to pull through.
Damn.. Pretty random. It sucks for any team when they lose a young player like this one. I'm sure Detroit will be fine regardless tho; they have np attracting free agents as well.
Whoa. Now that's a big one. Tough loss after Hossa also departs. For ages it had seemed that the Red Wings would have to choose between the two players.
