He's got legit sources, but also Russian players have used him before to remind teams they have other options when contract negotiations weren't going well for them. Based on past things he's broke, I'm pretty sure he does have a source with Traktor, so I'd say that it probably is true they've sold his KHL rights. Whether Val is seriously negotiating with CSKA or not, who knows? He's had such an unlucky last two years, I wouldn't be surprised if the Stars were moving on from him and he's saving face by leaking it was his choice.
