Replying to bold part. You are mistaken. It is an internal matter within Russia, but it is also international issue. It will affect on calendar & international transfers. If you do not care about schedule, the KHL will finish their season at the end of May so during IIHF Worlds. Transfers are more interesting issue, the KHL will not use the IIHF Transfer Card anymore, which is a huge challenge for IIHF if the organisation wants to keep their role within hockey. No IIHF rules will be applied to KHL, including sanctions.How many more thinly disguised Russia-is-a-victim, won’t-someone-think-of-poor-benighted-Russia threads are we going to see here? This had the thinnest veneer of being related to international tournaments and yet here we are.
This is purely an internal matter within Russia and won’t impact anyone else. The actual topic is probably just a political move in any case. But it has no business being dumped on those of us who don’t care about what happens inside Russia.
Other sport leagues can follow the KHL, for example VTB United League in basketball.
