Two-time Olympic hockey champion Vyacheslav Fetisov commented on the departure of foreign players from the clubs of the Continental Hockey League (KHL). KP reports.
The 63-year-old expert said that this situation allows the league teams to reformat. Fetisov indicated that clubs will now be forced to make adjustments to their financial capacity.
He admitted that the KHL may refuse to buy players within the league and rely on the formation of teams. He called for the involvement of young hockey players against the backdrop of the departure of foreigners.
