Rotenberg said for SovSport something about Jokerit-HIFK games, winter classic if/when Jokerit joins KHL.
He said that especially HIFK was against Jokerit joining KHL because Jokerit will lose rival club, only games which are sold out. Dont know, but he said that only derbies are sold out in Finland.
"Therefore SM-Liiga wanted 5 milions euro?
Yes, but we immediately rejected it. We found solution which was acceptable for everyone. We will organise friendly games against HIFK, winter classic. That is dignified replacement of finnish derby games," Rotenberg said.

PS
Rotenberg said Jokerit will join for 200%, not only 100%
Any news from finnish sources?
Hifk sold out many other opponent's too and were all the time almost full accoring to mtv3 few days ago, so that was rubbish. But the winter classic is biggest lose if it happens
