Director of Cherepovets Severstal Nikolai Kanakov spoke about possible transfers of hockey players from North America to Russian clubs.
— How difficult is it today to negotiate with foreign players, with newcomers from other countries, to join the club? If we begin a negotiation process, it is only a formality. The problem is that it is very difficult to negotiate. At least for European, Scandinavian players – almost zero chance. One in a thousand players. As a result, he is being chased and the top club will take him.
If Eastern Europe – Slovakia, for example, is more loyal there – then there are players from there. For us, they are Yarosh and Lishka. North Americans – Canadians, Americans – are generally ready. Every whim for your money. There are no questions, you just need to find a quality player,” Kanakov quotes the Championship.
During the regular season of the current KHL season, Severstal took fifth place in the Western Conference standings. In the first round of the Gagarin Cup, the club lost to Spartak Moscow with a score of 1–4 in the series.
