Head Coach Lokomotiv Igor Nikitin explained why the Yaroslavl hockey club has not yet signed a single legionnaire in the offseason.
We have two positions that we are going to strengthen. We watch. I would not say that we will play without Legionnaires. We just have enough guys with Russian passports, enough young people. This is where you need to take advantage of this opportunity. We are looking for attackers. The market is pretty empty right now. At the same time, we are not obsessed with the fact that we absolutely have to find someone. We are ready to start the season and work with those who are now in the team.
Anisimov? On our side, everything was marked out. Now Artyom’s position remains: let him decide what he wants, what he is ready for. Again, we’re working with the guys who were on the ice right now. We trust them, – Nikitin quotes the official KHL website.
Last season, Lokomotiv took 6th place in the Western Conference standings following KHL regular season results. In the first round of playoffs, the Yaroslavl club lost to CSKA in a 0-4 series.
