Togliatti”Lada “I never considered signing a goalkeeper Anton Khudobin said the club’s sporting director Rafik Yakubov.
Khudobin is a free agent. The 37-year-old Russian’s last club was the Chicago Blackhawks. Previously, he played for the Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, Anaheim Ducks, Carolina Hurricanes, Minnesota Wild and Metallurg Magnitogorsk. He has 260 regular NHL games under his belt, as well as 27 Stanley Cup games.
“Were there any options for Khudobin?”
“There were never any offers. We didn’t think about it, it was never on the lists. I roughly understand where the legs grow from, but that’s not true. We have a good team of goalkeepers, recently joined Vladislav Podyapolsky, at the moment we are not planning to strengthen this line, ”reports the correspondent, reporting Yakubov’s words.
On Saturday, Lada will play a KHL regular season game with Traktor, which will be the team’s first after the club returns to the league.
