“Lada remained an independent hockey club, despite a large number of transfers from S.K.A. said Togliatti general manager Alexander Chebotarev.
On Saturday, Lada will play a KHL regular season game against Traktor Chelyabinsk, which will be the club’s first after returning to the league. Over the summer, several SKA hockey players came to Lada at the same time.
– The sovereignty of “Lada” did not suffer. I have been working here for two years, specialists came, but someone had already worked somewhere. As for the players, imagine a situation where the market is empty. It’s just that SKA had guys they were willing to share. If you look at the transfers, last year we received most of the money from Spartak, but no one asked about Lada sovereignty. Therefore, it is not worth talking here about sovereignty… It would not have been said if they had met us halfway and carried out an expansion project. But that didn’t happen and it was the SKA that had the most free players. Our sporting director is from SKA, it would be naive to think that he will wear CSKA guys. Moreover, those with whom he worked believe him, ”reports the correspondent, reporting Chebotarev’s words.
During the offseason, Vladislav Podyapolsky, Evgeny Kalabushkin, Georgy Solyannikov, Andrey Altybarmakyan, Pavel Koltygin, Danila Moiseev, Alexei Ozhgikhin and Nikita Popugaev joined the Lada team from SKA through trades.
