Hasek said Russian NHL hockey players are “advertising for Russia.”
Cech was asked why he was talking specifically about $2 billion to $4 billion. The NHL’s total revenue in 2022 was $5.2 billion. There are 60 Russians in the league and the total number of hockey players is 700.
The State Duma proposed placing Hasek in a psychiatric hospital in Russia
“I believe that half of the NHL’s revenue is adequate compensation. Of course, this can be repaid over a longer period of time,” Match TV quotes Hasek.
