Bure would bring his experience from watching what LA Kings did in SoCal.

Would join other former NHLers involved in KHL: "Sergei Fedorov is the GM of CSKA and Alexander Mogilny is the GM of the team in Vladivostok."

I'm not sure if Mogilny and Fedorov have the same job. Fedorov ist the general manager but Mogilny is listed as "president". Aside from the opening of the arena in Vladivostok I haven't heard anything from Mogilny.

I finally found out why the new team in Sochi is suppose to be called "Delfin" - it's because there are dolphins in the Black Sea.

He already said it's not going to be called that. Probably read all the comments online....

Thanks god. Nothing against dolphins but they aren't in the same league as wolves or hawks or bears. Who wants to wear a Flipper jersey?

Yeah, Mogilny lives in California and his role is probably more of a symbolic one than an actual job.

Well, the Black Sea is huge... Ofcourse they have dolphins. I would like to know how the hell Lake Baikal can have fresh water seals... Now, THAT'S a mystery.

On a serious note, why not Bilyaletdinov? Is he really going to coach Russia in the Worlds...?
