Thanks. I find it quite confusing as it is apparently a gentleman's agreement that you can play with 4 on any given night although teams seem to carry 5 or 6. Someone like Josh Jooris has a Swiss player license as he played youth hockey in Switzerland.I don't think that there is a special site with this information collected. eliteprospects notes it on a player page tough.
Edit: This system with foreigners having a swiss license is currently under discussion. There is a good possibility that it wont' be possible to get a swiss license if you're not a swiss national in the future.
It is obvious the club is not willing to terminate his contract on club´s initiative/mutual agreement. If Avangard wanted to do that, it would happen a month ago.
So, there is an option of a trade to another KHL club. But it is difficult to make. Multiple reasons.
So, they are considering other option, exactly the one I described. Definitely, the club will not agree to release him for free. It is a business.
Michael Frolík is negotiating with Lausanne HC. The other contender for the player is Avangard Omsk.
Meanwhile talks between Lausanne and Maxim Shalunov have died down.
I wonder if this will open the league up to teams from Italy have a path to join in the future.
Right now, not a chance.I don't see it. If it was the 80s or early 90s, then sure. But today? No team from Italy could keep up with an NLA club.
Big events (>1000 people) could stay prohibited until March 2021, but our government has not taken a decision by now. This could be the end of the NLA as we know it.
I have absolutely no clue. But I think there's gonna be some information about this in the near future.What would happen with the existing player contracts if this came to be?
