The forward extended through May 2027 at minimum KHL salary, calling it a hometown discount for a shot at winning the Gagarin Cup with SKA.
KHL will pay clubs a record 2.36bn roubles for 2025/26, with champions Lokomotiv Yaroslavl receiving the largest share at 215.9 million.
Lokomotiv forward Alexander Radulov recalled trailing 0-2 in Gagarin Cup semi-final Game 6, then scoring twice in 33 seconds before winning in double overtime.
Metallurg sports director Evgeni Biryukov says Barac never fully adapted or fit in, and the sides also disagreed on contract terms from the start.
Olympic champion Mozyakin, 45, steps down as Metallurg Magnitogorsk's development director after four years; Andrei Shayanov takes charge of the academy.
18-year-old Lokomotiv forward Matvey Kotkov opened the scoring in the 9th minute as Lokomotiv beat Traktor 5:1 in the KHL season opener.
CSKA's president says the club addressed tactical weaknesses after a quarterfinal exit, with new defencemen aimed at fixing the power play.
