I feel if the NHL does not allow NHL players to play in the olympics, you’ll have lots of great players not play in the NHL. Ovechkin, for example, wants to play in the Olympics. He will probably go to the KHL. Speaking of the KHL, probably a great sales pitch to players who want to play Olympic hockey and still get paid to play.

Maybe for some European players, but players (and the two leagues) know that the KHL can’t afford to pay players at the same rate as the NHL does. Some players might leave if their contract coincides with an Olympic year and try to play one year in the KHL and Olympics and then come back, but overall, I don’t see many top players going to the KHL.
