I can't say I'll be back for the next KHL season, but what I can say is that I have thoroughly enjoyed learning the league in the last three and a half years, beginning during the NHL lockout of 2012-13 and going through this season. However, with the rebranding of the blog to a more professional look and feel under the Outsider Sports name, I truly believe my future rests in American professional sports coverage, and I may have to let the KHL go to accommodate that. If this is it, I thank the fans and people of Russia for checking in and reading my content from time to time. I appreciate the support, and I hope you don't take this as me giving up on you. It's what I need to do for myself. As always, you can find me on Twitter @OutsiderSports0.
