“I think that it was still worth holding it until the start of the Olympic Games, albeit without representatives of the national teams.
This would make it possible to finish the season on time, to give young guys, hockey players from farm clubs a chance to prove themselves.
But we can only express our opinion.
The choice still remains with the league and the teams, ”Bykov said in an interview with RT.
He also noted how a premature stop could not affect the reputation of the KHL.
“I don’t think that this affected the image of the KHL.
The Russian team was put at the forefront, whose performance at the Games in Beijing is of interest to the whole country, ”added Bykov.
Earlier, Bykov answered the question whether they organized a separate charter for the trip of the Russian team to the 2010 Olympics.
