Regarding Champions league hockey in general. I think the NHL will follow a similar model to the NBA. Essentially stay out of the Euro/Champions league, and invite the winners/finalists to face NHL teams in a couple of preseason games.

It used to be a huge deal when your countries best team would face an NBA team, I'm not sure it's as big now. However it was all over the Israeli news when Maccabi Tel Aviv won against the Raptors in the 2005 preseason.

As for your topic, I didn't know they implemented that rule. I thought this was discussed as well as that scoring a short handed goal would negate a PP. I don't remember which league it was supposed to happen in. Could well be in the champions league.
