maybe 2 or 3, not more, and after a few years these clubs wont be in KHL.
really? chelyabinsk, ekaterinburg, novokuznetsk, spartak, yugra, chekhov, aren't they all below those numbers? and few others are there or there about as well.
That has make sense but it is not a solution for KHL. Ask yourself, why does not NHL have 6 or 10 clubs?
the purpose of nhl is to make money for its owners and 30 teams make more money than 6 or 10. what is the purpose of khl? if it is to create a high quality league that can hold on to at least a good proportion of the best eastern-european players then an 18 team league serves that goal better than a 28 team league. the territory that the league covers (ex soviet union and ex czechoslovakia) cannot support a larger number of teams that can sustain top-level hockey. even 18 is a stretch.
