I guess these cities simply want to play at senior level, right? I'm all for the return of the established hockey names like Olimpia and especially Khimik to senior hockey.
well yes, but probably can't afford to keep the team in the MHL for $ reasons. And knowing how our NT coaches look at lower tier leagues for talent( for example this guy: http://mhl2.khl.ru/players/16673/, who all of a sudden no longer being called up to NT) - that will take these 3 cities off the junior NT map. Plus, there's almost no way to follow RHL except for non-professional web-sites here and there plus the ever poor FHR site.

I don't quite follow you. Abramov was actually called to NT camp from the old pervaya league so Khimik players still will have chance of being spotted. And the KHL draft will milk the best players away anyway.

Pervaya liga was at that point >>>>> RHL, as he started playing in MHL-B he wasn't called up anymore.

I'm not sure I agree, most of the pervaya league sides are still at the RHL, if anything there nowadays are less reserve sides with unsettled rosters so competition seems more legit. Though you could be right, I don't know.

considering the fact that pervaya liga lost all the teams from the KHL (to MHL), some to VHL and some directly to MHL I think it's reasonable to claim that it got weaker.
Kristall Berdsk and Oktan Perm are in final of MHL B. According to rules, these clubs should promote to MHL A for next season.
not so sure Berdsk is a good candidate but Oktan sure is - pretty strong school, mostly relying on it's own kids. Berdsk has a lot of older guys from the side. Will be a worthy final either way.

we will see... final decision will be made after season. There is chaos about next season.. we dont know if Tatranskí Vlci goes on or not. What about joining Energie Karlovy Vary to MHL A not B?? Many Qs, we will see.

It is almost sure Ladya will be relegated to MHL B. Second relegated team should be Olympia. Both will play last 3 games against each other. Avto will save your MHL A spot, Vlci can be relegated - we will see. Vlci needs 10 pts of 12 to save.

It probably won't be as simple as there are those rumours of some teams like Khimik leaving the MHL. So Lada could be saved in such fashion after all.

I agree, therefore I wrote "according to rules". Plus we dont know what will be destiny of Vlci and Energie K.Vary joining. Btw, Khimik wants to play VHL or dissapear? If they want to play VHL, they have to create MHL team as well.

From what I understand the RHL is their destination of choice.
800 mil euro for MHL A or 400 mil eur for MHL B is expensive? I dont know, I read statements that playing MHL is cheaper/equall than former Pervaya Liga. If I am correct, this debate was before MHL A or B creating.
I think it is done deal. But nobody knows if they will be somehow related to HC Lev or not. Also nobody knows if HC Lev will have it's own team if KV would be separate.
