The only club with less money than Riga is Chelyabinsk "Traktor", but this has not hampered results – currently third place in the Eastern Conference. Riga in contrast is in 13th place in the Western Conference, but ever hopeful of a turnaround and playoff contention.
The "Dinamo" 2012/2013 budget is estimated at LVL 7.5-9.1 million (USD 14-17 million); "Traktor" – USD 12-14 million (LVL 6.4-7.5 million).
Two KHL powerhouses have the heftiest budgets – Moscow CSKA and St. Petersburg SKA. The numbers are almost the same: USD 65-70 million (LVL 34.9-37.5 million) for Moscow, USD 60-70 million (LVL 32.2-37.5 million) for St. Petersburg.
