*-> In Russia this morning the KHL has officially announced their plans for the club Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. It was reported late last week that a league wide draft would take place but the club felt a year off would be best for the city and the club despite many fans and players fight to keep the team in the KHL for the 2011-2012 season. The KHL management reportedly felt it was best to keep hockey going in Yaroslavl so the mutual decision to allow the club to continue in the lesser level league the former Russian Super League aka RSL then next year bring the club back. Some players may be loaned to Lokomotiv from other KHL squads with the teams picking up the contract to help them stabilize and make a return next season. For now it's reported that Yaroslavl will use a combo of free agents and their farm team to compete at the lower level.
