I know; I'm one of the few North Americans paying attention (I've been aware of/following the European and Russian Elite Hockey Leagues since the 1970s)@Nino33
There are still the same clubs which have problems with debts. And these teams will leave the KHL soon. Have you ever heard of debts of SKA or CSKA or Magnitka? Of course, you have not, because these clubs have no problems. The reason for contraction of teams is that the KHL needs to develop & some Russian clubs dont have economical potential (and have never had). Therefore the league will kick them out & will replaced them by European/Asian teams. Salaries of top players will grow, the salaries of average players will go down which is not a problem. The average players are overpaid now.
I'm against the constant NA bashing, and the lack of facts by those who do so
I don't understand calling NA media coverage propaganda garbage (with no link to the alleged propaganda) when the KHL website itself describes things in a worse fashion than the NA media allegedly does!.....it really does seem to me that facts don't matter
Regarding your comments - what's actually happened is KHL salaries have been going down, the salary cap has been lowered, and teams have been reduced.....all you're saying about top players being paid more and European/Asian teams being added is just talk at this point (the ongoing problems the KHL has been experiencing were not planned; things may not work out for the KHL the way they plan now, and in fact thus far the history shows it's most likely it won't work out in the positive way the KHL hopes it will)
