Yeah, I keep thinking "how are they gonna fill all these seats regularly?". I don't know how it's supposed to make enough money to be self-sustainable, but then again I really don't know enough about the allocation of money in the KHL. I should read up on that.
And for the UK specifically I'm really not sure if London is the best city. It hasn't really proven to be a great hockey market, and with the fans elsewhere I'm not too confident, they'd enjoy cheering for London. (Disclaimer that this perception is influenced by one of my English hockey friends who likes to tell me how everyone not from London/South England hates London, and that's not where the general fanbase is...)
