Division leaders are in bold. Teams in italics are in last place in their division.
Salary figures are from the KHL website (http://khl.ru/news/2008/10/3/4320.html-an earlier news release (Oct 1, 2008) did not include bonuses or salaries for key players ). Currency conversion was done on 10/04/08 at the London Interbank Rate (25.9 rubles to one US dollar).
The league median is $12,5 million per team,which is a little above the minimum announced last June. The total league payroll is about $328 million. About all I can say about a league in which the highest payroll is more than seven times (700%) the lowest is good luck ever achieving parity.
