Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin says he hopes the Kontinental Hockey League will expand to include clubs in central and western Europe.

Ya sure, that's what they want to think. The only reason why this league is around is because of the big bucks that are in it, and washed up NHL'ers are in it. If they were to expand to Finland, Sweden, Norway, or perhaps even Estonia for that matter, travel would be ridiculous. Then, on top of that Putin says “without any administrative domination”... there would defintily be domination coming from them. They (the russian's) seem to think that with a lot of money they can just create a league. I see this "KHL" league gone in a few years.;
