You might want to look into how much money the Russian owners have. I am not sure who the wealthiest owner of an NHL club is but from what i have heard some of the Russian owners are worth up to $14 billion.
They have enough money that they just had a Finnish team come over to the KHL. I doubt it's going to stop with that one team.
