from Ray Slover of the Sporting News,
Let’s admit this much: An NHL presence in Europe makes sense, if only to fend off the Continental Hockey League (KHL). We don’t need to see KHL czar Alexander Medvedev pounding a shoe at an IIHF conference to know there’s a cold war on between the old boys of the western world and the mother Russians.
But the last thing the NHL needs to do is pull its attention away from its own nest. At the risk of sounding protectionist and isolationist—but yes, I am a bit ist about this—Gary Bettman’s crew must take care of its own before it goes off on some overseas adventure.
