The head coach S.K.A. Romain Rotenberg on his Telegram channel said that the attacker Damir Zhafyarov left the team.
In the 2022/23 season, the 29-year-old Zhafyarov scored 63 KHL regular season games and 44 (16+28) points with a +15 utility rating. In the playoffs, he has 12 matches and 9 (1+8) points with a utility indicator of +2.
Thanks to Damir Zhafyarov! I want to thank him for a great season in St. Petersburg and at SKA. Damir helped us win the Continental Cup and the medals, honestly worked with the team during the toughest season.
In the conditions of the salary cap, we must first think about the team, how to strengthen and maintain a financial balance. Our common decision is that it would be better if Damir continued his career in another team. Damir, thanks for playing and good luck,” Rotenberg wrote on his Telegram channel.
