Usually when any of us sign a contract or an agreement, we've been conditioned to read everything, including the fine print so as to protect ourselves from future financial disputes, differences in work expectations and even loopholes within a collective bargaining agreement that allow salary caps to get exploited. OK, most of us haven't had to deal with that last one.
Tomas Bulik, now formerly of Yugra of the KHL, didn't worry about that because, well, he apparently didn't read the form that was placed in front of him last month because he didn't know the language. Bulik's agent, former NHL goaltender Andrei Trefilov, claims that what was represented as a document to help Bulik, a native of Slovakia, get a visa/work permit, turned out to be his release form.
