Forward “Siberia” Nikolai Prokhorkin told that he remained on good terms with the representatives of SKA and Sochi, despite the exchange and subsequent termination of the contract with the people of Sochi within minutes.
At the beginning of August, SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg announced that Prokhorkin was leaving the club he had played for since May 2022. He also defended the colors of the Saint Petersburg team from 2016 to 2019. SKA announced the transfer of Prokhorkin to Sochi in exchange for monetary compensation. After that, Sochi immediately terminated the agreement with the hockey player, who signed a contract with Siberia.
– SKA traded you to Sochi for 27 minutes, after which they terminated your contract there. Was this decision surprising?
– It’s a technical point. I understood why they do it. The SKA wanted to get out of the salary cap. Well, they did. What difference does it make for me? I didn’t want to argue with anyone. And he remained on good terms with everyone. I started looking for a club and finally found it. I really like Sibir, the fans are great here, the atmosphere in the team is incredible. You have to work with ice, and in general everything will be fine. I was told the ice would get better with every game. We are waiting for this.
– “Siberia” has been calling for you for a long time. But as soon as you changed agents, you immediately signed a contract. Did he force the process?
– The change of agent has affected the search for a team. First, I didn’t even know before who was negotiating with me and how they were going. For 28 days, nothing could be decided. And as soon as I found a new agent, we decided everything in two days. That was the difference, – said Prokhorkin “”.
