President of the Continental Hockey League (KHL) Alexei Morozov explained why the league cannot expand the regular Fonbet KHL Championship to 80 or more games.
Is it possible to extend the regular season? There will be no World Cup for the foreseeable future.
– How much is the foreseeable future? You know? This is a difficult question that needs to be discussed. The contract is signed for 2-3 seasons… And if we go to the World Championship in two years? We will have to change everything back, the players will receive a salary by going to the World Cup. We would like to play 80 matches, we like that. The more games there were, the more balanced it was, the more unpredictability we were looking for. Knowing this “foreseeable future”…
“Are we really supposed to let go?
– We are even obliged to stop the championship for the Eurotour. We are required to release players under IIHF regulations. The FHR is still a member of the IIHF and we must obey,” Morozov told reporters.
