"Rempal signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Capitals this past summer after spending the 2024-25 season in the KHL with Salavat Yulaev Ufa. He impressed with the Caps during camp, with head coach Spencer Carbery even saying that he "had every argument to say that he could play in the NHL tomorrow." In his first season in the KHL, Rempal recorded 61 points (31g, 30a) in 68 regular-season games - good for fourth in the league."
"Shortly after signing his recent NHL contract, reports out of Russia emerged that Rempal had a wide range of suitors in the KHL, including Salavat Yulaev, Dynamo Moscow, CSKA Moscow, Traktor Chelyabinsk, Metallurg Magnitogorsk, and Ak Bars Kazan. Traktor reportedly offered him a salary of 150 million rubles per season ($1.84 million), including bonuses, which is over four times the $450k he would make if he spent the entire year in the AHL with the Bears."
The Washington Capitals placed 30-year-old winger Sheldon Rempal on waivers, likely to allow a mutual contract termination as multiple KHL teams pursue him. Rempal did not make the NHL roster out of training camp and was assigned to the Hershey Bears, where he has two points (1g, 1a) in four games. Rempal signed a one-year, two-way contract after a 2024-25 season in the KHL with Salavat Yulaev Ufa, recording 61 points in 68 regular-season games and leading the KHL playoffs with 21 points in 19 games. Traktor reportedly offered a 150 million ruble salary including bonuses.
