“This season there are fewer foreign players in the KHL, a large number of young Russian players have appeared. Probably, in terms of entertainment, they even won the championship. Due to the decrease in the number of foreign players, our guys have a better chance of proving themselves and becoming team leaders.
It is better to trust your youth than to invite a large number of foreign players. If we invest so much effort and money in club hockey, then we need to invest in the development of national athletes,” Tretyak told Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
