The author notes that from a sporting point of view, CSKA’s decision makes a certain sense, since the club has no reason to fear sanction from an international organization. However, he emphasizes that this approach sets a risky precedent. The more the KHL faces the IIHF, the more tension rises among the NHL participants. If the KHL turns into a “league of criminals”, the general manager of Philadelphia will have to do everything possible to ensure Matvey Michkov a quick transfer to America.
The author also points out that if the IIHF continues to increase penalties against the KHL, even if the latter tries to avoid them, the NHL will have to choose between two camps.
