KHL Vice-President Dobrokhvalov Rejects Foreign Player Limit
Sergei Dobrokhvalov says the KHL will not tighten its five-import limit, arguing that facing top foreign players helps young Russian talent develop.
Sergei Dobrokhvalov, vice-president of the Fonbet KHL Championship, says the league will not tighten its limit on foreign players.
The current rule allows five import players in a club's matchday roster. Vladimir Yurzinov Sr had proposed cutting that to three.
Dobrokhvalov's answer is that the opposite is true: facing players trained in other systems, he argues, is part of what develops young talent rather than something that blocks it.
