Three-time world champion and Stanley Cup winner Valery Kamensky believes that Russian clubs should negotiate with American clubs without intermediaries. Transmits words “Sport Express”.
“The decision is wrong. We must suspend cooperation with the IIHF until we are allowed to compete internationally. We need to develop our hockey and talk directly with NHL clubs. Both the KHL and the Russian Hockey Federation should have direct contact with the NHL,” said Kamensky.
On August 14, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) penalized CSKA with a one-season international transfer ban. In addition, the team’s goalkeeper, Ivan Fedotov, will not be able to play in the Continental Hockey League (KHL) until August 31, 2023.
From July 2022 to July 2023 Fedotov served in the army. He currently had a contract with the National Hockey League (NHL) Philadelphia Flyers.
In the 2023/24 season, Fedotov was supposed to play for CSKA in the KHL. The start of the new season is September 1.
Formerly Dmitry Guberniev answered Fetisov to the call to “send” the International Ice Hockey Federation.
