general manager “Avant-garde” Anton Kuryanov noted that the team, in an ideal situation, must acquire three players.
— Am I satisfied with the selection now? You know, August 4 and 5 were probably the two most difficult days of the offseason, except for the May holidays. Because Tkachev “hung on”, he had offers from the NHL and we couldn’t get into a person’s head. If we lost him, it would be a blow. Plus another story with Knight…
But then we signed Tkachev and Spooner, and at the same time the team performed very well at the Sochi tournament. And now we understand who and how to work with, and there is optimism. Because we saw such a “hungry”, fast and aggressive team.
Which other positions must be closed before the start of the season? In the ideal scenario, he is an extreme striker, center forward and defender. Maybe not by September 2, but soon. There is no one in the public domain, but there are some thoughts. But it is difficult to say how, what and when it will be implemented. In sleep mode, — quotes the words of Kuryanov “Championship”.
The new KHL season kicks off on September 1 with the opening Cup game between CSKA and Ak Bars Kazan.
