Kazanski “AK Bars” In the coming season, the KHL will compete for high positions, says former hockey player Evgeny Artyukhin.
Last season, Ak Bars lost to Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg in the first round of the playoffs with a score of 1:4.
— Someone thinks that Ak Bars ceases to be a top club and becomes an intermediate club. What do you think?
— It is difficult to call Ak Bars average. This is a team with great potential, high goals and a good budget. What did not work out last season is due to many different factors. They invited a new coach, they are betting on him, Anvar Gatiyatulin is selecting a team. Shipachev, Radulov, Voynov, Svechnikov have left. They are trying to rejuvenate the team, install their own guys. I am sure that Ak Bars will claim a leading position next season, ”Artyukhin quotes RB Sport.
The new KHL season starts on September 3. “Ak Bars” will face Ufa “Salavat Yulaev” in the first match on September 5.
