Goalie swap Nikita Serebriakov from Vladivostok “Admiral “V SKA will benefit all interested parties, says former Russian national hockey team defender Denis Kulyash .
On Wednesday, the St. Petersburg club announced that it had signed a contract with the best goalie of last season in the KHL. The agreement with the 27-year-old hockey player is for a period of four seasons and will be valid until April 30, 2027.
“This is a rare case where all parties have benefited from the transition. » Serebryakov became the best goalkeeper in the KHL last season and deserved promotion – objectively, it is difficult for the admiral to count on the Gagarin Cup with such a lineup and style of play. In SKA he will benefit from ‘maximum confidence and will work with Yuri Klyuchnikov, the goalkeeper coach with whom he had the best season of his career. And the goalkeeper already knows the requirements of the Army General Staff: he went to the tournament with the Russian 25 team, won it, fit into this game system perfectly.
The army team received a significant reinforcement: the club now has the strongest goaltending team in the KHL. All goalkeepers are very strong, with each of them the club is capable of fighting for the biggest goals, and in competition with each other they will definitely improve. “Admiral” gets both the experienced (forward Nikita) Anokhovsky and the promising (goalkeeper Sergei) Ivanov and (forward Dmitry) Buchelnikov: the guys objectively exceeded the level of the VHL and MHL, now they have to prove themselves at the country’s main league level, and I am sure that everyone will definitely be satisfied with their passion, desire and understanding of the game in the Far Eastern club. The main thing is that we trust them and allow them to play,” Kulyash told the Championship.
Serebryakov played 178 matches for the Primorye club in 5 seasons and became the best goaltender in the KHL in the 2022/23 season.
