In DEL every team is represented by their bosses in the DEL board and everyone has the same voting rights in questions regarding the league. Is there something similar in KHL? I think that would help a lot.

Prokhorkin cannot play AHL without contract. He can not sign new AHL contract, let say tommorow, because he has valid KHL contract.
I can see:
1) termination of his KHL contract, or
2) playing VHL, MHL
3) trade to Amur or so (like Ozhiganov)
IMO 1) or 3) are realistic now.
Looks like you were right regarding Prokhorkin KHL's contract being legitimate (from our discussion in the BoH), and here was the pushback I expected from the KHL to maintain the MOU. Hopefully this gets sorted out so Prokhorkin can play some hockey.

Hope as well, he needs to buy one way tickets to Moscow.
Amur wins on this. Gusev is twice the player Prokhorkin is.
On the other hand they gave up high first round draft pick for a player who is defensive liability and is yet to break out offensively. Pretty even trade if you ask me.
For those following Dinamo Minsk, can you give up a brief update on how Joe Pavelski is looking? Online stats show that he only has 1 assist in 7 games, so I was wondering if there is any reason for that. Working hard but snake-bitten; looks completely lost out there; injured?

he looked good so far, definitely better than kane he created some quality scoring chances, made some good passes, was solid at the face-off dot and was not bad at defense as it can seem because he has -4 in 7 game played. but he hadn't his luck with him. i wrote some times ago, maybe in this thread, that he had some open shots near the crease and he just couldn't put it over the laying goalie, so it was a little bit frustrating.
right now he is dealing with the minor injury, which prevented him from playing in the last two games. but there is chances that he will return on sunday against dynamo capitals
we are hoping that he will finally start racking up points as soon as possible, as he has shown some flashes of what he can do.
Awesome, thanks for the update. He isn't exactly a great skater, so I wasn't sure if his problems were stemming from the transition to the bigger ice. It sounds like he's mostly snake-bitten though, so that's good news. Hopefully he heats up soon.
There is a new KHL site? I can only see the old one at khl.ru, and it's decidedly inferior compared to nhl.com. Very few news items, no user comments, extremely terse game summaries, no analyses, etc. I really need to visit championat.com or allhockey.ru to learn what's going on around the KHL.
In other news, Slovan has now triggered the second opposing coach firing in its last 3 games. Lev fired their coach after Lev lost to Slovan at home, and now the same thing happened today with Atlant. That's quite a road trip -- I wonder what will happen at Torpedo tomorrow. (It certainly helps Slovan's games are preceded by games against CSKA who start the destruction, and then Slovan can finish it off.)

I think it's been like that since the start of the season. (And the English version has even less content than the Russian one.)
English one just updated to this one over the international break. IIRC before the update it was just the score bar, the slideshow, and the stat leaders. Articles weren't there or at least where I saw the and the whole site was coded like a early 2000s website where everything was blocky as hell
I like it though. Especially the score bar which had a tendency to not work from time to time.

The articles were actually there, but they were just below the score bar, not on the right in a format like they are now. Usually the first article had a somewhat bigger picture, and I can't remember whether with the other ones it was just text titles or they had smaller pictures, as well. And I don't think they actually changed how the articles themselves look and are formatted, it seems it's just the links to them and how they're presented on the front page.
But yeah, they website has definitely changed over the international break, and it looks a bit fresher now. The individual player stats, for example, are still very hard to read, however, so while it might be a slight improvement, the site's still needs a bit of tweaking to make it as nice and readable as NHL.com.
I disagree, a site is dead without user input and feedback. You simply need moderators to filter out trolling & nonsense.
Speaking of online discussions, is there a KHL-devoted message board like this one, but in Russian language? I tried to find one via Google, but couldn't. My Russian is error-prone as opposed to my English, but following such a board might at least help improve my Russian.
PS: Watching the official khl.ru stream of the Torpedo vs. Slovan game right now, going to overtime. Bought it from Slovakia for around €1.25 via Yandex Dengi. Picture quality is OK, and I especially appreciate the broadcast works on the iPad/iPhone, unlike the "pirated" Flash streams. However, there is no announcer, and especially no time-keeping shown on the screen, which I think should be unacceptable.

there's allhockey.ru where you can leave comments at each thread, they have a forum as well, but it's rather dead. Same for Championat.com. There's a slovakian poster on allhockey already.
Yes, I've been following both allhockey.ru and championat.com, but as you say, those sites feature especially user comments on articles rather than a full-fledged message board like here at HF. That's too bad -- it might help promote the KHL if there was a "central" message-board of the quality of HFBoards, for discussions both in Russian and English (and perhaps also in other languages).
I suppose we'll never get to see that now in the age of Facebook & Twitter. In this sense, we're lucky in that HFBoards is such a long-established venue with a large user-base. Difficult to launch a brand-new message-board in the 2010s, I'm afraid.
when speaking about space for Prokhorkin. Btw I predicted that CSKA-Amur "trade" will be there 
he created some quality scoring chances, made some good passes, was solid at the face-off dot and was not bad at defense as it can seem because he has -4 in 7 game played. but he hadn't his luck with him. i wrote some times ago, maybe in this thread, that he had some open shots near the crease and he just couldn't put it over the laying goalie, so it was a little bit frustrating.
