The general manager of the club of the National Hockey League (NHL) Minnesota Wild Bill Guerin spoke about the fear due to the arrival of the Russians. His words are quoted by The Athletic.
“Traveling from Russia in the current political climate can be risky,” Guerin said. He added that he was worried about the imminent move of 19-year-old Metallurg striker Danila Yurov from Russia to North America.
On July 9, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly announced the termination of the memorandum of understanding with the Continental Hockey League (KHL). The document was based on respect for the agreements of the players with the clubs, which excluded the possibility of the transfer of hockey players with valid contracts from one league to another.
In April 2023, two-time Olympic hockey champion, State Duma deputy Vyacheslav Fetisov explained the lack of sanctions against Russians in the NHL. Fetisov said that the performance of Russian players in the NHL is financially profitable.
