KHL has zero change of going head to head with the NHL first of all if any of you have ever been to russia you would know this. the Arens are to small compred to North America.
TV Money is not even close to what the NHL makes. just the 6 Canadian Teams CBC & TSN deals make more the KHL. The ticket prices in the NHL are 3 times more then KHL charge for games.
right now the only thing that KHL has is oil money. They may compete the NHL one day but it won't be right now.
What the KHL will do is raid the rest of the european leagues like Sweden Finland and the Czech leagues. they will get some NHL players but for the most part it will be 3rd and 4th liners. It will hurt maybe minor leagues like AHL ECHL and so on.
