08:26 AM ET 09.27 | For his part, Nail Yakupov believes his career would be better served in the KHL, but he may not get his wish. [Yakupov] could be forced to return to the Ontario Hockey League if he wants to continue playing during the NHL lockout. The flashy forward was suspended by the Russian-based KHL on Wednesday after it was revealed he didn't secure a transfer card to join Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk. The International Ice Hockey Federation ruled he played illegally when he suited up for his hometown team in two games earlier this month, casting doubt over the immediate future of the NHL's most recent No. 1 pick. At issue is who controls his playing rights. ... [Hockey Canada and the CHL] both believe he belongs with the Sarnia Sting.
