chesnokov 7:43am via Web Lokomotiv official: "At first we didn't want to believe it. But right now there is no hope. The team is gone."
KHL Lokomotiv was on flight heading to game in Minsk to open their season. Their main roster, plus four junior players were on the flight. Lots of former NHLers (coach, and many players).
Games scheduled tonight are canceled.
I know the NHL has a system in place to allow for "drafting" of players from other teams to put a roster together for such a catastrophic loss of a team. I have no idea what the KHL has.
Mod note: Let's try and keep the thread focused on the business aspects (cancellation of games, restocking roster).
