The issue is, Holland was negotiating against KHL clubs. They don't have a salary cap.

Kostin was very close to signing with KHL Avangard Omsk – until DET deal today. Now, his agent will talk with GM Yzerman, who should have no problem out-bidding Omsk, where Kostin likely would not make &gt;$900K US. Taxes better in Russia, but if DET wants Kostin they’ll get him.

Holland wasn't going to qualify Kostin due to contract demandsand arbitration rights, he would have been a UFA by Saturday.
