In the midst of contract negotiations with the Columbus Blue Jackets, restricted free agent Ryan Johansen is receiving interest from the KHL. James Washington Steelers Jersey . According to TSNs Farhan Lalji, CSKA Moscow were set to offer Johansen a one-year, $5 million contract on Saturday night. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger confirms that it was one of several KHL offers Johansen has received. He added that Johansens agent Kurt Overhardt remains focused on getting a deal done with Columbus. The Blue Jackets have been unable to reach a contract agreement with the 22-year-old centre despite multiple offers. Blue Jackets director of hockey operations John Davidson and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said on Wednesday the team has made offers of $6 million for two years, $32 million for six and $46 million over eight years but each one was refused by the restricted free agent forward and Overhardt. "Contracts have been extended on our behalf that are close to $50 million. I think that our group has been very fair. In fact, more than fair. And its nowhere near what they want," Davidson told the Canadian Press. "Were trying to do the right thing for our organization. Were trying to be very fair to a good young man in Ryan Johansen whos got a bright future here. Were trying to do the right thing. And all were getting is no, no, no, no." Johansen and Overhardt tabled a two-year contract on Thursday to the Blue Jackets, which did not appear to be received warmly according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger. However, the two sides are yet to agree on a new contract. According to Overhardt, Johansen has already received six other offers from KHL clubs. Johansen scored a career-high 33 goals and 63 points in 82 games with the Blue Jackets last season. He was selected fourth overall in the 2010 NHL Draft. Mason Rudolph Steelers Jersey .
