Former Sochi defender Nikita Shchitov said he saw no interest in the emergence of new clubs in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
— I think that if someone were to enter the KHL, it would be Novokuznetsk Metallurg. It needs to be strengthened and brought to the KHL, because it is a club with a good history that has given the world many students. I would also like to see Perm Hammer in the KHL. This is a good team. But I don’t know if it’s possible. There are many clubs in the KHL. Is it possible to recruit quality players there? Will there be enough players? If Barys or Kunlun leave us, then maybe these guys will still be enough. Now I don’t see the point in the emergence of new teams in the KHL, ”Shchitov quotes RB Sport.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
