Former Detroit Red Wings star Slava Fetisov has called for Russia to reintroduce Soviet-style restrictions to prevent promising young hockey players from moving to the NHL. Fetisov, who is now a senator in Russia, tells Russia's R-Sport news agency that federal law should be used to stop Russian players from moving to North America before they turn 28. The aim is to keep ''our most talented guys, the ones who the people come to see.'' Fetisov was one of the first players to benefit from the relaxation of Soviet-era rules which prevented any hockey players from leaving.
